Leftovers

We were eating shrimp cocktail while watching the Broncos win on Saturday night. My sister turned to me and handed me her shrimp tail, “Here you go.”

I thanked her sarcastically. “What’s this for?” I asked.

“They’re fairy wings,” she replied.

I laughed, charmed. “Really? Why am I eating them?”

“Because they’re magic,” she answered.

“Just the wings, huh?”

"I ate the fairies because they contain more magic," she explained.

My brother interrupted, “She’s just giving you the leftovers.”

Go Broncos!
