A Girl’s Problem

January 19, 2016

A Girl’s Problem
Share

Somehow, Earthlings have not been so kind to the century-old intergalactic breeding. So on a daily basis, the green-skinned girl has to deal with fascist purebreds and their racist remarks. However, there is something else that she hates more than those people: cloudy days. The weather report last night talked about the upcoming rainy season, but the girl still hopes for the appearance of morning sun. As she stands on the rooftop in disappointment, the girl hears the shout of her mother, inviting her to eat a real breakfast instead of photosynthesizing. The girl groans, “Moooom, I’m on a sunlight diet!”
