The Exorcist

I just saw Enrique Iglesias performing on television. Memories of college flooded back to me, as my roommate, Holley, was Enrique's number one fan.

But, it wasn't Enrique I was thinking about, or even Holley, it was Holley's sister, Kate. Our freshman year Kate was just a little munchkin. Much smaller than the size of that mole Enrique used to have (Where did that thing go, by the way?). She was just eight years old. A cute little thing, sweet as can be. Or so I thought.

Holley had to leave for class on that dreaded morning, leaving me to watch her seemingly sweet little sister.  Nobody would have expected this cutie-pie to turn exorcist when Holley walked out the door. Her head literally began spinning.

I tried to ignore her erratic, devilish behavior. I had heard several times before if you ignore bad behavior it will go away. So I ignored. I sat in my chair with my back to her, my foot resting on the bottom drawer of my desk. Whoever came u with that ignoring method has no idea what they are talking about, for Kate came running up, kicked the drawer with all of her might, slamming my foot into the desk. Luckily for Kate and her young life Holley returned to the room just as I decided that choking her was the only way to resolve her behavioral issues.

I am happy to see now, that Kate is a beautiful, young college student, and her head no longer spins completely around her neck!
