The Battle Rages On

Every day on the way to take Braden to school, my van turns into a war zone!

The first opponent makes his first move, shining full blast into the van, directly into his intended victim's eyes; the second opponent acknowledges the first attempt at victory by her opponent, and lets out a devil cry, as to say,

"It's on BABY!!!"

So the battle rages on between

the Sun

and the queen of Sugar and Spice, a.k.a. Emma.

The Sun shines, Emma screams, "No!" The Sun is undeterred by her mere shouts and demands; he shines again, and again we hear the devil cry! While many shudder and cower at the sound of this cry, the Sun doesn't even flinch; he is a courageous fighter and is well skilled in the art. He has come to win, and win he will! He again shines a ray directly into Emma's eye, leaving her covering her eyes and screaming, "STOP THAT!" The sun merely chuckles at her meager demands! This battle continues to rage between the two (much to the chagrin of her mama and all the occupants of the van), but Emma is no match for the Sun and his skill! While she does have the attitude, it is not enough to help her come out the victor! Again, the Sun reigns supreme, but don't worry; Emma will be back to fight tomorrow! She is now at home plotting her counter attack, and next time she will be better prepared!

For next time she goes into battle, she will be well armed; she will have the weapon that the Sun fears, the weapon that makes the Sun shudder, the one weapon that makes the Sun powerless, the one weapon that will prove to be the Sun's undoing,

SUNGLASSES!

Thanks to a $5 bill her grandpa slipped her last week during his visit, she can follow through with her counter attack!

So Sun, we only have one thing to say to you and your courage, to your skills, to your pride,

"BRING IT ON SUCKER!!!!

YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!!!!"
