Extraordinary Kindnesses - The ClownMy sister made my wedding dress
From a pattern that I selected
She instructed me to keep it always
In my wardrobe
Just like she did.
I have read about those
Who don their wedding dresses
On their wedding anniversaries
Every year
To ensure that they "keep their figures".
After eleven years of marriage
My husband and I separated
Never to reunite
I sold my wedding dress the next year
Through the local newspaper
A woman and her daughter
Arrived to inspect it
The mother bought it
For her daughter to wear at a debutante ball
And I was happy not only to
Receive some money for this useless dress
That had spent eleven years

Extraordinary Kindnesses - The FaintWhen I was pregnant with my third child Andrew
On a day that was hot
As our Australian summers are
I was in Target
With my three year old daughter Stacey
Walking beside me
And my two year old son Seth
In a pusher
I remember being in the perfume department
Of Target
The mixed scents were overwhelming
They made me nauseous
I had a pair of small, plastic sunglasses
For my daughter
Who kept asking for them to wear immediately
But I had to take them
Through the checkout first
So I had to keep on explaining this to her
Over and over again
I felt very sick at the checkout
It took me all my time to sign
The Visa slip
I sat on
