Our new career

It dawned on me the other day that I should stop complaining about the “Bank of No Forks” and find some other type of gainful employment.  I made a list of things I’m good at:

Complaining, cleaning/laundry, mortgage underwriting, handmade jewelry, taking care of small animals, scaring ghosts off – not a complete list but a start . . .

Complaining would be great but I can’t find anyone who pays for that, there’s not enough money on the planet for me to clean or do the laundry of someone I’m not married to or didn’t birth, mortgage underwriting doesn’t pay enough to support me anymore and jewelry making never did, I didn’t go to school to be a vet so the small animal thing is out – that leaves me with scaring off ghosts.  I ran that by Amylynn since she’ll be going with me.  She was a wee bit skeptical at first –  “You need to revisit that list or make a new one, crazy sister.” 

I convinced her with my Craig’s List Ad:

Have an unwanted ghost at your house?  Hire us, Ava Louis and Amylynn Bright, to rid your home of all disembodied spirits of dead persons.  Excellent track record of scaring all types of ghosts from ever bothering you again.  Don’t spend another minute afraid in your own domicile.  $1000.00 per removal plus travel expenses if needed.  Full money back guarantee if not fully satisfied.

“Well, you do have that ability, it’s like a superpower.” Amylynn grudgedly admitted.

Indeed it is.  I have never been to any purported haunted place in my life and seen a ghostly anything.  Not once, ever.  I’ve had the curators of haunted museums apologize for the lack of ghostly activity while I was there.  I’ve eaten delicious homemade nut rolls in the kitchen of a haunted house where bread was supposed to fly everyday at 4:00PM off the top of the fridge and nothin’.

I’ve actually been blamed for making ghosts disappear – as if I’m the frightening one!  Okay, well maybe I’m frightening to the living but certainly NOT to ghosts! 

I think I’ve found our new career . . .

Tell us what great super power you have – don’t be shy, we can hardly wait to hear about your talents!
