There is one person who understands why I talk to the turtle. Erika smells good like a baby’s head, so she never goes on dates or anything because people just want to protect her and ask her how she’s doing or bring her juice but not actually get close to her that way. She knows it. Sometimes she wears this ode de geriatric femme perfume that makes her look shorter and weak wristed, but the baby aroma comes through just fine still. I think she hopes mixing her scent with an old woman will balance things off, but uh-uh. Erika is in love with Caleb who is in love with Anne who is our boss and has expressions that say oh no she didn’t but knuckles that look like they’ve made a few grown men brush lips with the concrete, so we all love Anne for hiring mostly women to work in an organization that probably helps struggling women in this country or another with microloans, quite possibly, but I am no longer sure. Caleb and I never talk because we aren’t the same kind of people, and we are both jealous over Erika because she’s our favorite little sister even though she is three years older than I am with different parents. We both want her to get her big girl teeth and go to college and stay away from bad boys who don’t do anything bad other than abuse the women that dare to love them, which is pretty bad. Caleb and I know what kind of anal debris can waddle in a room and steal her heart, so we both fight in silence over who has more power over Erika’s future.
