splinter’s wife.
It’s the simple things that really make my day. Here I am. Sitting on the subway. Tapping my right foot. Thinking about how it smells a little like the person who was sitting where I was just ate a falafel. And there I see her. This sweet little gem that made my day.
My best friend from high school, Susannah Lipsey, would go with me to Post Oak Mall in College Station, Texas and we’d sit outside the food court and watch people pass by. We made up a game. The game was to find what animal people looked like. We knew how to blissfully entertain ourselves. Becca, Susannah’s sister, labeled me a 3 toed sloth. Thanks Becca. That’s specail. Must be fun being a wart hog. I kid. She’s an earth worm.
So this day, my sweet lil gem is sitting across from me holding her goods tightly and peering around at everyone nervously in her hosiery and SAS sandal combo. I had to hide my smirk because a comet of awesomeness struck me with blunt force and goes…”you’ve found her animal” in a deep baritone comet voice. Lil miss paranoid was none other than the wife of Splinter from the Ninja Turtles movie. Not the cartoon. If you don’t know the movie, you won’t laugh. You’ll just be royally confused. Sad you’ll be missing out on laughter. Now google Splinter.
