This is in response to Kelsey's Free Entry "Eyebrows." (link: http://kflemin.blogspot.com/2012/03/free-entry-eyebrows-week-10.html)...
This is a really interesting piece. I love the simplicity in the title, when I first read "Eyebrows," I thought "oh boy. Where could this be going?" But I love how you went about this, not jumping straight into the scorching, but focusing on playing with Barbies and then describing the junk drawer. This is a nice use of that idea of creating a scene. I would love to see where this piece goes, because the way you ended:
"The door to my parent’s bedroom opened and my
mother walked out in a towel, she lifted her nose and sniffed the air reminding
me of a mouse and asked, “What’s burning?”
My voiced wobbled as I replied, “My face.”" had me wondering how your mom reacts...I can only imagine how much trouble your sister got in!
Oh lord, we got in so much trouble. Me, Tori, and my brother were all grounded for a week and we had to say in our rooms the WHOLE time.
