None

So I'm driving along, fresh out from a long day at work. It was just one of those days you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, or maybe you would.

Anyway, I'm driving home, but there ain't no real reason to go there. I share my apartment with myself, and the though of cooking something for dinner isn't really appealing to me. It's Friday and come to think of it, I'm not really hungry, but thirsty. So I figure I'll stop at my favorite spot for a beer or two or three.

“You look great, Kerry, don’t be so hard on yours,” I tell my friend Kerry who is eight months pregnant.

“I’m a fucking cow! That’s why he ignores me. All he sees is how I used to be thin and I blew up into this,” Kerry says wiping tears that are running her makeup.

"Very good! that was an excellent rehearsal, class! be sure to shine your Instruments tonight, the parade is only tomorrow!" said Band teacher, she was old, but sweet. she walked slowly to Becky, a svelte girl with Black hair and blue eyes who played the drums for the school band. "Becky!" said the band teacher in a bit of a harsh voice "You need to practice a bit more before tomorrows parade! i don't want a bad drummer tomorrow" Becky nodded and replied "I will do my best, Ma'am" she then put on her tall band hat, her red and blue Band jacket, that matched her bottoms and buttoned it up.

"Mommy, buy me a balloon!" said the little girl as she tugged on her mothers dress. "oh.... ok" said the mom as she pulled out her money from her purse. it was the 1st day of the carnival, and Milly wanted to go with her mother. Her mother handed the money to the balloon Vendor, he counted the money and said "here you go, 3 balloons for your little girl". Milly's mother took the balloons and tied one to each of her daughter's arms, but she had one left. "Well, you want to carry this one, Milly?" said her mother. Milly nodded and took the balloon's string.
