Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 12, 2013

Present tense.

She thinks Mom doesn’t understand what it takes these days to attract a new bow….

But Mom isn’t really thick… just a little heavy…..

Look…. she’s not even carrying a wrap for later….and what if she’s in some club and gets caught on tape….?

It might be in the paper! What a sticky situation that would be.

Mom wants her to give up rock ’n roll, and concentrate on developing her other gifts.

OMG! I think I can see her box.

Curses, foiled again!

Don’t put it all out there, Miss Thing! You don’t wanna just give it away—keep it under wraps.

Thanks Ed! Kind words … but I gotta wrap it up soon and go to bed.

And Hi Arianne!

She’s sure to get a ribbin’.

Poor kid is boxed in.

However, Susan is thinking outside of the box!

Oh my! It’s just a strap on her production day suit.

Yes, it does not leave anything for the imagination.

She just trying to present herself.
