Discovering My Competitive Gene

Written by Brianna Popsickle
It was the final leg of the relay at our annual family reunion.  Everyone was cheering. We were in the lead. I'd just passed the baton to my mother-in-law, who took two steps, tripped, and fell to the ground.

"Get up! Get up! We've got this!" I screamed, suddenly realizing everyone else had grown quiet.  I glanced around to see people staring at me with a look of disgust. My mother-in-law was seventy-eight years old.

The Dark Side of Santa Claus Parades

Written by Brianna Popsickle

The day began like every other. I grabbed my gym bag and jumped in the van. It wouldn’t start. We’d been having trouble with it all week, needing to boost it several times. My friend came over. My husband hooked up the cables and gave it one final boost. My plan was to drive it to the garage, which was closed on Sunday, but would leave it there so they could work on it first thing in the morning.
