Pick Me Pickle

I’m sitting in a chair, in front of a table. I am wearing an apron that shows everyone here that I work for [REDACTED]. I have a bin of two hundred crafts to give out to kids as they pass by. I made them myself. I also have a McDonalds coffee next to me. I did not make that myself.

Mr. [REDACTED] and Mr. [REDACTED] stop by my booth with their wives and their kids. They say that it is nice to see me. They ask how I’m doing. They smile. I smile back.

I have never given anyone that big of a cock-sucking motherfucking cockadoodle hippy-dippy singing and dancing Julie Andrews smile. Here at the [REDACTED]. Everyone’s smiling. But nobody’s smiling like I am.
