TOUCH THE EVIDENCE
Nothing happened. That is exactly what it wants you to think.
Fucked-Up Things My Sister Said, No. 1
Family testimony involving a haircut, a second refrigerator, and a funeral outfit that is apparently already chosen.
PRESS FOR REASSURANCE
Too late. You are already reading Broken Zine.
My sister has never met an unspoken thought she respected.
1. “I’m not saying your haircut is bad. I’m saying hats have had a very good year.”
2. “You don’t need therapy. You need a second refrigerator. Half your problems are condiment-related.”
3. “If you marry him, I’m wearing black. Not funeral black. Fun black. I want that distinction on the record.”
4. “That decorative pillow has been judging me since Thanksgiving and eventually one of us is leaving this house.”
5. “You keep calling it a phase like phases don’t sometimes last forty years.”
When I asked whether I could quote her, she said, “You’ve been doing it wrong your whole life. Why stop now?”
