Arson And Daughters
Gas Station | San Antonio, TX, USA | Siblings
(My brother, sister and I are stopping for gas. My brother starts the pump and comes around to sit in the car.)
Sister: “Why’d you come in?”
Brother: “I don’t like standing around in the gasoline fumes.”
Sister: “Why?”
Me: “Check the sign… they can cause cancer.”
Sister: “But I like the smell of gas.”
Me: “You also like to play with matches.”
Sister: “I don’t like to play with matches. I have to play with matches.”
(We all stop and stare at each other. She’s put it off that she was joking every time the story has since been told.)
