Thigh Sliver
“So, how was your day?” I ask Rissa.
“People looked at me weird when Nerine was holding my leg while I was feeling up my inner thigh.”
Beat, two, three… I close my eyes for a moment. “O…kay… Explanation…?”
“In Science we were using plasticine and toothpicks for a project, and I ended up sitting on one of the toothpicks, so I had a sliver in my jeans, so I went to the office and asked the secretary if they had tweezers in the first-aid kit, and she did, which was great, but then I couldn’t reach it, which was bad, so I needed Nerine to hold my leg up so that I could feel for it… So it sort of looked like I was feeling myself up… In the office. There were some kids in the hall who gave me some weird looks.”
“I can’t imagine why.”
