A Tale of Two Fishes, Shavasana and Charred Parsnip
After a lady in my writing group remarked how much she enjoyed the book she was reading because it was so hilarious, and that there are not enough funny stories shared in the world, I was inspired to share one of my own.

Who is your Elizabeth Patterson?
When my sister and I were growing up, we would play pretend shopkeepers in the backyard and ride from shop to shop on our bikes. We had pretend names and alter egos, the whole deal.
