Above us only sky

I guess that’s true, plus mom would probably lose it if you cut it off without that hairstyle being on trend and all. Right, and we wouldn’t want that, especially after you paid a ridiculous amount of money for them. Haha. Good point. Well, I guess I could put on a Santa hat, that’s pretty christmassy plus it will keep my ears warm.

For sure, can’t make a fashion fopaw like that while living under her roof. Nor would I ever want to. I’ll leave the pixie cute hairstyles to the girls who hang out under the bleachers with you. Exactly! So, hair stays short and cute, and everyone’s happy. Noooo, wear a Christmas sweater. It’ll match my Christmas dress. 

Nah, dad just suffers in silence, that’s how he rolls. It’s a short hair only thing, trust me. But if you don’t believe me then maybe you should try a pixie cut yourself, Tiny. I guess, but just think about the money you could have saved if you did get me one from the dollar store. Money you could have spend on charity, for example. Eh, what do you mean? I’m ready, I woke up before 3PM and I even put on pants. I’m pretty much set to go.

Pretty sure that’s incorrect, but fine. Who am I to argue. As cute as my face would look with a pixie cut, my hair’s too valuable to cut off. I take care of it far too well to just get rid of it. I’d suggest you just grow back out your mop, but that’ would be a waste of the ear muffs I bought you, and a step backwards. Who cares about saving money when it’s giving your favorite brother a Christmas gift? That’s not ready! ... Ugh, I guess that’s Logan ready... please tell me you’re at least dressing Christmassy? 

It’s cause everyone in this family has long hair except for me. I guarantee you that if you cut it short you would suffer like I do. Well if they are lame either way, then you could have just gotten me some from the dollar store, Case. Would have been just as effective. Yeaa… well, other topic, shouldn’t you be getting ready for the party?

No true! Daddy’s hair is short. And his ears are never cold like yours. And I wear my hair so my ears are showing all the time. And they never get cold either. I think something’s just wrong with your circulation. Ew, dollar store? Logan, we’re not from the heights, we can afford actual clothing. Gross.... Um, you underestimate me. I’ve been getting ready since this morning. My dress is laid out, my hair is washed and done, all I need to do is pick out a pair of shoes and do my make up and I’m good to go. You’re who should be getting ready. 

It’s kinda hard to forget about that when your ears are freezing off. Wow, from Kanye’s line, those ought to to be some badass looking ear muffs. Are you sure I can rock them? What could possibly be a better gift than spending time with your brother, though? I think I’ve done well with my gift. Can’t listen, sorry, ears are just too cold.

I don’t understand how your ears get so cold. No one else’s does. Maybe you have a blood condition, we need to check that out soon. Pfft, nah, they’re just ear muffs. No one can pull of ear muffs, they just wear them because they’re convenient. Oh... you know... anything else. No offence. Aw... oh... okay. Too bad. 

Did you get me earmuffs? Please tell me you got me ear muffs! I’ve been waiting on them for a while now and you did promise me you’d get them for me, Case. Ice cubes are literally starting to fall out of my ears right now. Making your poor brother suffer like that isn’t very christ-like, you know? Uh, yea, that’s quite alright. I’m good, just take the money, sis.

.... How did you even remember that conversation! Way to ruin your surprise, Logan! Gosh, I should let your ears continue to grow ice cubes as some kind of retaliation for ruining your reaction tomorrow morning. They’re nice though, I know you’ll like them. They’re from Kanye’s line, and cost me pretty penny. So, your gift for me better live up. NO! The rules are I have to sing for the money, you’re gonna listen to me. 

Right, that too, of course. Can I take a guess what it is or would that be totally lame? Im sure she will, since she’s not celebrating Christmas. I don’t think charitities care that much about how you got the money, just that they receive the money, but eh.. suit yourself, I guess. Yea sure, I’ll make a donation. Don’t even need to drop by the house.

Sure you can guess. But I doubt you’d get it right. Um, she’s still my best friend. I’m sure the thought would count, thank you very much. Of course they don’t, but it makes me feel like a good person. Which is why I want to do it. Great! And pish-posh, if you pay the money they you get a song, duh. Maybe I’ll sing a Christmas cover by one of those 2011 emo bands you listen to. 

Yeah, totally excited about Christmas as well. I mean, there’s food, lots of food and peace on earth, all that good stuff. Are you sure that you wanna do that, though? It’s pretty chilly outside, Case… How about I give you my allowance and you stay inside and drink some hot cocoa with me?

Yes, very good stuff! Don’t forget the presents, and the time to spend with mommy and daddy. Which I can’t wait for! I already have Jackson’s gift picked out, and Chelsea’s, and yours. I think Sadie’s is on back order but I’m sure she’ll understand. Of course I want to do it! That’s very generous of you, Logan. But it’s the work and effort that goes into it that makes it so worth while. We can definitely drink hot cocoa together afterwards though. And watch a Christmas Carol together! I’d still gladly take your donations if you want to give it though. 

Still don’t see the point in disrupting your sleep for something like that. And you really don’t have to do all of that, Case. My room doesn’t need to become a flower garden, thank you very much. Sleep walking? I don’t think I am, but who knows? Why would that need to be documented, though?

Because you’re my big brother and I need to take care of you. Duh. But lavender helps you sleep! The scent of lavender. It’s aroma therapy. I’m doing it anyway. Because that’s actually pretty neato, plus then we can see what else you’re doing in your sleep. What if the couch wasn’t your first and final stop. What if you did other things? My friend’s dad used to eat candles in his sleep, and some people try to cook! I’m gonna ask mom to buy me a few cameras. 

Don’t really see the point in waking you up in the middle of the night over my problem, Tiny. I guess I could try that, and keep my fingers crossed that it won’t be as gross at the previous tea’s you made me try. Well, watching television made me fall asleep at least, though I don’t even recall going downstairs, or why I even did that since I have a tv in my room. Weird late night adventures, I guess.

The point is helping you, you idiot! Yes, good, try it. I’m going to go out and pick so lavender from my garden and put it around your room when I get home. So, those random flowers are that - don’t be alarmed when you see it. Set a mood lighting too! Not completely dark, but not with the lights on completely, okay? So you’re sleeping walking now too? Oh my gosh! We should document this.... hmmm.

The past few days I’ve just been feeling exhausted, yet I’m finding it very difficult to actually fall asleep. After a lot of tossing and turning last night I think I must have just stopped trying at some point, because this morning I woke up completely sore, on the sofa with the tv still on. Hopefully it’s just something that’s going to fix itself, because I’m starting to feel like I’m on The Walking Dead or something.

You know, your issue could have been solved simply by coming and knocking on my bedroom door. I swear, it’s like you forget things like this are my specialty. Next time I suggest stealing a bit of the chamomile tea I have in the kitchen cupboards, that stuff really helps. Or I could have given you something for aromatherapy. Gosh, and sleeping on the couch surely isn’t going to help, though I will give you the benefit of the doubt because my third suggestion is getting out of bed for a bit and doing something to wind yourself down.
