Mangoes, Rain & Boredom


The other day when I was walking I swear I smelled


mangoes. The smell you would imagine one smells

when walking through a vast mango garden.

However there surely isn't a mango garden in

Illinois, so why do I smell mangoes? And such

a powerful mango odor at that. Its been raining

for like three days and its horrible. Avery and I

cannot go to the park or go for walks and smell

phantom mangoes, we are forced to entertain

ourselves inside. We invented this great game

where he throws things from his saucer and I

dive dramatically after them, he finds this

hilarious. The rain inspires all kinds of sortid

boredom relief, such as chickwich and I standing

on the porch and listening as the neighbors argue.

We often like to make up our own backstories as

to what started the argument; for example yesterday

she wanted him shave her back but he refused,

insisting it was her week to shave his back. Well she

wouldn't stand for this and threw a bowl at him, his

good spitting bowl! Upon seeing his dear spitting bowl

shattered he then went after her and shaved her left eyebrow

and the fighting continued. At least thats what me and

chickwich decided happened. Conversations about rain

reminded Robert of a song. So the rain technically forced

me into downloading Milli Vanilli's Blame it on the Rain,

which is absolutely despicable. I wonder if the rain will wash

away whatever is putting out that mango stank, I hope not
