How to Fake a Broken Leg

So, you all know the story about the time my sister cracked her head opened and blamed it on me. She was obviously a dramatic child. Well, apparently she adored the attention so much of being a victim….that she one time faked a broken leg.

I share this picture with you because I do not have a picture of Tracy and her unneeded cast. What I do have is a picture of karma sitting in her lap. AKA Cooper. He is every bit Tracy and Mike’s child. He is the one that will give her gray hairs and drive her to drink. He is JUST like her and Mike combined when they were little. My mom always told her that she hopes one day she had a kid just like her so she would understand. Karma is a bitch, Tracy. Hehehehehehehe

 

The memories of this story are a little fuzzy, perhaps because they were all a lie! I am not sure exactly what event it was that occurred in which Tracy could have possibly broken her leg. However, one day she just decided she couldn’t walk anymore. Her leg hurt and she hammed it up until my parents decided to take her to the ER because that is what any normal parent would do when their child used to walk just fine, can no longer walk, and is complaining about pain.

After multiple xrays and doctors looking at her leg, no one could figure out exactly why my sister couldn’t walk. There didn’t appear to be a brake or fracture?! Nevertheless, they put her little leg in a cast and sent her home to “take it easy” to be on the safe side.

Days turned into weeks that turned into a month and my parents had to carry her ass EVERYWHERE!!! Tracy wanted out of bed? Someone came up and carried her downstairs. Tracy wanted to get some fresh air? Someone had to carry her outside. Tracy wants a water? Make Nadine get it. Tracy needs all the couch to lay out on, make Nadine sit on the floor. Tracy, Tracy, Tracy. Girlfriend can really milk things.

One day, the Casio brothers (that lived up the street) came by and invited me to play a game of baseball with them. Tracy had a crush on the youngest brother. When she got wind that I was going to go play with the boys, she realized that having a broken leg sucked. That she in fact did not like to be sitting on the couch when there are boys to flirt with. Miraculously, Tracy jumped her little ass off that couch and ran outside to meet us and play ball! Tracy can walk?!?!?!?! What a fucking miracle, right??!?!

This made everyone say hmmmmmmmmmm. Just a few minutes ago, Tracy couldn’t dare try to walk and now she is outside running after some boys?

Dear Mom and Dad,

This was your first red flag that Tracy was going to cause some trouble. Just sayin.’

Love,

Your Good Daughter

Just for fun……this is a picture of Cooper on the side lines at his big brother’s football game. You will notice he is not watching the actual game.

He was watching the cheerleaders do their routine. Right after I took this picture, he waved at them and said “Hey girls!”
