I took a photograph of a fan. The fan is shaped like the ice cube I found in my mouth on my tenth birthday. Yesterday was my tenth birthday. Yeah showed up dressed like a bunny. His bunny costume was nothing but an old lobster bib that he wrote ‘bunny’ on with a magic marker. He was eating tortellini. Some of the tortellini fell into my cake. I cried. My parents took Yeah aside and told him quit the funny business. Yeah smiled and locked himself in the bathroom. An hour later we saw him run across the lawn holding the garden hose. He stopped running when the hose was no longer slack. He fell down and crushed my mother’s roses. When everyone went outside Yeah was gone. I heard a toilet flush in the house. Everyone went back inside. Yeah walked out of the bathroom. His knees were torn and dirty. He rubbed them in the cake for a few seconds and then paused. He looked at my parents and apologized. He said, “I forgot, no funny business.”
