[center]A Club Red Christmas
by Jack Wells[/center]
It was Dad and Uncle Dave’s turn in the kitchen, and we had a
big (though early) brunch to start the day. There was some
discussion over how long we were going to stay, but I still
needed to spend some time studying for my last finals, Mom had
needed to go back to the store, since she’d forgotten we were
going to be home an extra three days, and the Cowboys were
playing at noon, so she knew we weren’t going to pry Dad away
from the TV between ten a.m. and the end of the game.
The drive home was pretty quiet. I was the only one in the
family who was much into Magic, so I waited until the ride to
open my cards. There were some good ones, and a couple I needed
for a deck I’d been trying to build. My new puzzle game kept me
busy the rest of the way.
No one was hungry when we got home, so Mom told us to just get
sandwiches, and we’d have supper at the normal time. The
weather was okay, but no one was home, so I went ahead and
started doing my reviews. I only had two finals left, and I
wasn’t too worried about either one, so I just did the review
sheets my teachers had given out, and decided that was good
enough.
I took a break when I finished the review for one class and
started to play with Escape from the Temple, when I remembered
the change Jerry had announced to the club on Friday, and it got
me thinking.
I called him. He was reviewing also, but he liked my idea, and
he promised to come over that evening to check on it.
Monday was horrible.
The tests weren’t too hard. Thing is, in high school, they had
long periods to take their finals, but they only had two or
three a day, and when they were over, they got to go home. Even
though we were taking finals, we still had all our classes and a
full class day. At least some of the other teachers, where we’d
already had finals, let us watch videos and stuff or just have
free time.
One of my teachers had some hand lotion on her desk, and
somebody asked her why she used so much of it. She explained
how using the chalkboard dried out her hands, and she used the
lotion to keep them soft, so they didn’t get dried out and
itchy.
I thought about that for a while. When I got home, I found one
of Mom’s bottles and used some lotion on my butt. It wasn’t
hard of dry, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to keep it soft and
tender. I don’t know if it helped or not, but it felt good.
Things weren’t less boring on Tuesday. At least there were no
finals to worry about. Since it was the last day of the
semester, there wasn’t anything going on. Even all the finals
were finished. In some classes, we just talked, in others, we
finished watching videos. In a couple, the teachers had snuck
in snacks for us. At leasts no one tried to make us learn,
because I’m pretty sure my brain would have broke.
Even though we were getting out like two and a half hours
earlier, it still seemed like forever before the bell rang and
Christmas vacation started.

Mom had some lotion I used for that purpose. It was wisteria
scented. I still associate that smell with that application.
