“You’re a Kimball!  And Kimball’s play football!” Stephanie yelled at her daughter.  “Now throw me that ball.”

“We are in the house!” Sarah replied, nervously holding the football in her hands.  “You can’t play ball in the house.”

“My house.  My rules.  Now throw it to me.”

“No!” Sarah yelled, “This is silly!”

Animals!
By Grant Baciocco

Charlotte screamed as the rhinoceros’ horn came splintering through the front door.  She leapt away from it and bounded up the hallway staircase.

At the door the rhino let out a bellow as he wrenched his horn free from the door and backed up for another charge.

Charlotte reached the top of the stairs as the door was hit again.  She turned into her bedroom and slammed the door shut, attempting to catch her breath as she heard the rhino enter the house.  She turned to find her room filled with gorillas eyeing the bag of peanuts she was carrying.

Burlingame, March 5. A woman told police she had been feeding wild animals and now felt in jeopardy while doing so.

All Ten Of Them
By Grant Baciocco

Edgar squinted his eyes and looked at his friends who stood in a semi-circle around him.  A smile crept across his face.  “How…how…” his words were slurred due to the amount of alcohol he and the rest of his friends had consumed.  “How many of us are there?”

“You’d better count.” Glenn replied.  His words just as slurred.

Edgar silently went around the circle, counting.  “There’s…there’s nine.”

“You didn’t count you.” Glenn replied, laughing.

“Okay, okay, let’s all count together.” Edgar ordered.

Slowly, and carefully, all ten of them began counting at the top of their lungs.

Socks
By Grant Baciocco

“I have no choice, I’m going to have to ditch these socks.” James said to himself as he pedaled down the street.  “Why didn’t I do laundry last night?”

He thought about the late night he’d spent playing video games rather than doing his laundry.  Now he was biking to work and was gagging because his socks smelled so bad.  Two weeks ago, he’d decided to throw out all the socks with holes in them.  He now had one pair left and had worn them for two weeks straight.

He pulled over near a car and began removing his shoes.

900 block of Linden Avenue, 5:12 p.m. Monday A resident reported seeing a man on a bike place something under her car. An officer responded and found dirty socks.
