Dabbles in Drabbles, Candace Carson [bts book recommendations .txt] 📗

Iain

Iain is quite a random person. He's also a disgusting and clingy one. Not my type, but, hey, the world needs 'em. He is very smart when he needs to be. Take Lego's, for instance. He can make five different cars, two airplanes, and a castle in about one day. Pretty cool, right? Unfortunately, though he doesn't put as much creativity into his schoolwork. More than once a week he will come home with an unfinished essay or math paper and a note from the teacher saying that he needs to really step up the pace or suffer the consequences.


Isaac


An annoying senior, Isaac is your typical half-brother. Except for the fact that he likes me more than Iain and that he introduced me to my now favorite manga series, Lucky Star, he's, for lack of better word, annoying

. Okay, maybe he isn't that bad. But he still lives on a completely different schedule from the rest of the family. Yeah. Not good. Not good at all. One time, he woke Iain up in the middle of the night and they started playing. Mom and Dad heard them and got really mad. I, of course, slept through the whole thing.


Mom

My mom is a tall beautiful Polish/French-Canadian woman who is as fragile as a rose. She can be pretty commanding when she wants to be, though. Mom can be really focused and will get angry at anyone who disrupts her when she is cooking or cleaning. No matter how many times I offer, she won't accept help unless the help is to fold the clothes sitting in a pile on her bed. One of her only flaws, in my opinion, is her hair. Mom insists on dyeing it red (to hide the gray) and hairspraying it into an 80's 'do.


Dad

Last, but not least, in this collection of family drabbles is my dad. He taught himself to play the guitar and is now pretty darn good at it. He is one of the people in the world where you look at him in the mall and think, “Golly gee whiz, I feel sorry for his kids.” But he isn't like that at all. He is truly a big teddy bear on the inside. You just don't want to be on his bad side. That's when you start pitying his kids. Especially if he isn't in his usual jokey mood.
