Person 4 is magnetic. Over time she has magnetized all her belongings. No matter how tidy her room is, all she has to do is walk in and everything jumps out and lands on the floor. Some things are polarized and are repelled instead. Great drifts of flotsam build up down the back of the bed and behind the door…dolls clothes, a shoe, bits of string, homework...for a while there was a thriving shanty town under the bed. Gangs of Happy Meal toys roamed freely in packs. There are lost lunchboxes with bacteria evolved enough to make tools and weave crude cloth. At night you can see the glow of their tiny campfires.
When she leaves her room things follow her. There’s a sort of fan shaped pile of stuff spilling from her door like a river delta. Heavy things pile up at the door to form a formidable barrier, lighter objects like socks can be drawn all the way down the hall before being dispersed throughout the house. For some reason I often find her socks under my pillow.
But she’s a funny kid, does a fairly passable cockney accent. She’s also an avid reader of the blog and especially enjoys Exile’s larrikin adventures and cheeky comments. Here, she made a picture for him…

Isn’t that nice? Got a little stained glass border and everything.
I’m thinking of putting it on ebay...what do you reckon I should start the bidding at?

yeah, it's good
but the shoes are way off. i wear vans, not Converse.
i instruct you to love her a little less from now on.
(btw, if you cut me in on the e-bay profits i might be inclined to sign the pic)
I hope you've booked her into the Baboon-protected compound. A magnetic person! We totally need one of those! (Especially an artistically talented one.)
Start the bidding at $82,000 American.
She's 8 and understands Exile's blogs? Even the ones where he talks about us eating his burger meat? Joe, that's just a tad bit creepy.
Though your kid has definitely become my idol.
i agree with exo, most adults* don't get my blog
(*this term was used loosely)
