a trifecta of stories -- installment 3

3. STAR!
Cody's sisters created a new game, similar to my generation's slug bug. Basically, you hit the person closest to you if you see one of those trendy tin stars on somebody's house. Cody, Maren & I were walking home from Corgan's blessing on Sunday . . . amongst a plethora of stars. Naturally, we were slugging each other like crazy. We had just gone through a dry spell of five minutes when the biggest reddest tinnyest star ever appeared within our view. Cody went behind Maren for me, I went in front of Maren for Cody, Maren covered her face, and the little girls in the front yard of the star house stared at us with dropped jaws :) Cody noticed them and politely told them that we really liked their star. They wouldn't talk back to them . . . maybe they thought he would start beating on them. Hehe!
