"Bratz"

I found this old one. I wrote this piece ten years ago. There should be something new for next week!

Bratz

 

Recently, my mom, my little sisters, Anna and Rebecca, and I went to the post office because we had to deliver a package. At the post office, there is a very friendly mailman who has worked there since I was a baby. He is always very friendly to us whenever we go to the post office. While the mailman helped my mom, he made small talk and asked what grade me and my sisters were in. As we were leaving the post office, the mailman said, “Bye, brats.”

 

After my mom, sisters and I had walked out of the post office and were in the parking lot Rebecca asked, “Why did he call us Bratz?”  My mom said, “That was probably the first name he could come up with.” And then Anna added, “Yeah, we have never even played with Bratz.”

My sisters and I have never played with the Bratz dolls. We’ve always preferred the wholesome and yet recently slightly immodest Barbie dolls.
