Grasshoppers: A Story of Love and Betrayal

Before I begin with this story, you should scroll down and play the Barry White song to set the mood. Go on, now. It's at the very bottom of the playlist- scroll the playlist box to the bottom. That's it, baby. This is the song I was thinking about when the story began...no, seriously. Go do it!

Did you turn it on? Good. Now, keep reading...

So, while playing with Alex at his sandbox, this is what I saw. Two lovers enjoying the picturesque sunset. (Pause for a few bars....)The bigger one is the female. Yeah baby (Barry White style). Can't get enough of your love, baby.(Pause for a few bars...) Ooh, feeling groovy, baby. Ok, now keep going...

But, wait! What's that yonder? To the right... Doh! It's another male. Look carefully at the green dot in the far right a little higher. That's him. He's been jilted. Damn. Life sucks. He just waits there... Watching... He's been betrayed. He contemplates. (Pause for a few bars more. Feel his feelings. Let it take over.... The jig is up, baby.Ok, keep going... )

He leaves.

The end.

Alex: mommy, I'm scared!

Now, grab your baby, turn up the volume, and groove to the rest of the music, baby!
