I am sick and tired of this shit! Every damn day Martha comes over and throws dirt on me. I know what you’re gonna say… she’s being nice and making sure you stay cool. Blah blah blah. I don’t care. I don’t want her snot dirt. Have you seen what she does with that thing? Absolutely unsightly. Don’t even get me started on when she blows water on me. Martha needs to keep her trunk to herself and her children. Ohhh her children! How about she keeps an eye on them more too. She just lets them run around amuck.
