Proud To Be Odd

He is a failure, my cousin Tee said. How so? He had two businesses, neither of them made it. Yes, he is a loser, Cousin Dexter chimed in. What were they? A bakery, and a laundry mat. So he can bake and do laundry! I said smartly. Sounds like a good catch. They both laughed. What does he do now? They did not know, so I found out. He works at a Wal-mart, I told them. He is the manager. So I asked them, “instead of a failure, would it be possible that he successfully Eliminated two careers for one that is working for him now?” My cousins looked at me. You are odd, Dexter said. Tee nodded. I smiled, proud to be odd.
