Sister Mary Kelsey

- a story for my sad clown niece who is sad about her dog, Flash.

My niece kelsey wants to be a nun. So much so that she wears a penguin outfit around the house. She makes everyone call her Sister Mary Kelsey and she chases her sister around the house with a giant ruler. We were concerned about this behavior but the doctors said it was very normal and not to be worried. But late at night my sister says she wakes up and Kelsy will be standing over her with the ruler ready to pounce. The penguin suit she made also cuts off her circulation around her throat and now when she talks she sound like Julia Child. "Hellloooooo mommy, today we have a woooonderful soup to make, ohhhhh." She also tends to want to take off her shoes and walk barefoot in the snow. She claims this is good for the soul. Too bad it's still summer and 74 degrees out. So instead she puts her feet in the freezer and that's not doing anybody any good.
