A Tale of Two Siblings
by Cobi Gottschalk
Chapter 1- Dawn of a New Age
It twas the day before birth, on this here mother earth.
Cobi was getting ready to make his escape, for he had
a doctor's appointment, and did not want to be late.
Meanwhile
a father and an older sister to be, waited in the waiting room,
for the brand new baby.
After a scream and a shout, the mother had finally pushed that
baby boy out.
While it was the most beautiful thing the mother and father had
ever seen.
Older sister Celeste, looked as if she had a pain in her chest.
And so the tale of the two began, stories the parents would tell
over and over again.
Chapter 2- Lessons Learned
I'm a monster and I'm hungry our babysitter proclaimed... "No! Eat
Cobi first" said Celeste without shame...
"Dad... Cobi's not in the back of the car", knowing full well
before leaving, but waited to tell until they were a far.
With a wedgie here and a wet willy there, Celeste gave Cobi plenty
of ripped undies to wear.
As the two grew older, Celeste's mischievous ways had only gotten
bolder.
Chapter 3- Same Old Tricks
When rafting at the Kern river, Celeste chose to let Cobi fall in
and shiver.
After a hard day's work Cobi just liked to go to sleep, but upon
hopping into bed, found numerous toy animals underneath his
sheets.
So Cobi has come to realize after 27 years
later, what to expect from his older sister's behavior.
Happy 31st birthday,
Love Cobi
