Benji and Me- A Picture Prompt

So I found this website that gives picture prompts, and I'm posting the one I did. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Benji and Me

There it was again. That dog, a golden lab, some people called it, was in front of my house again.

“Ma!” I called. “Ma, that stray’s in front of the house again. Can we keep ‘im?” My ma never answered me, only ran out to the porch and hollered at it, telling it to scram. But today she held the broom from her sweeping of the house. “Ma? What’re you doin’ with that broom?” She still ignored me, and ran to the porch, waving the broom like nobody’s business. The poor stray ran away from her, tail between its skinny little legs. “Ma, can we feed it if it comes again? It’s goin’ to die if we chase it away like everybody else.” She just shook her head and shooed me out the door to catch the ratty old bus to school.

Easter Already?

Have you ever noticed that months before a holiday, stores start pulling out stuff for it?

Seriously, when it's not even the second week of summer vacation, I don't need back-to-school supplies. When I am shopping for back-to-school clothes, I don't need a Halloween costume. When getting Christmas gifts for my family, I don't need Easter baskets.

And then what happens? What happens is that when my brother needs flip-flops, Target is selling snow boots. When I need a sweater, there's tank tops on display. So my family buys less and less from Target, and more from places that know how to read a calendar.

The worst part is that people are getting used to it! But I'm never going to. No, I will not be giving out Easter eggs this October 31. No way!

What do you think? Tell me in the comments below!
