                                                Emma’s Strange Hobbies

            As a child, Emma was very smart.  She loved schoolwork more than anything else not only because she was good at it, but also because she worked hard at it.  On the weekend girls her age would be out playing, but not Emma, she was determined to get the good grades.  Sometimes for fun she would play Sudoku, solitaire, or if she was feeling like having a lot of fun she might wipe out a word search or even a crossword puzzle.  But though Emma was very smart when it came to schoolwork but didn’t have the best common sense.  Emma got very amused at some things, she loved draping plastic bags or paper bags over here face and run into things, she also loved sticking her head out of the window when she was sitting it the car.  Emma and I are quite close and always tells me about that special bush or tree that she clipped earlier in the day.  I sit, pretending to be interested.  Sometimes she might tell me about that sweet new paper and or plastic bag she loves tossing over her head.  I will never forget the day that my Aunt Catherine (Emma’s mom) picked Emma and I up from school when we were in 6th grade.  We hopped in the car very energetically just waiting to go back to Emma’s house and mess around til the Destroyer (what me and Emma call my mother) could come and pick me up.  Emma’s house is fairly close to Episcopal, however some roads get pretty close to some signs and trees while driving on the road.  Once Cath hits 50mph Emma flies her head out of the window, mouth open wide, arms stretched out, eyes closed, just waiting to clip something.  She nicks a couple of tree along 252 but nothing to crazy.  However when we turn onto S. Leopard road, it gets a little tight and a truck was coming down the other lane.  There was a 45mph sign about 30yrds ahead and the truck was about 60yrds.  Emma’s head was still out the window and Aunt Catherine swerved away from the huge garbage truck and then…. BOOM!!
