The book of Eli (Pickle version) has a new chapter as dictated by his brother, Lucas.
During Sunday dinner, Lucas started reminiscing about the Philippines and things that he and Eli used to do. After torturing Sydney and Rachel about their eye make up, this is the story Lucas tells about Eli.
Lucas said that Eli cut off all his eye lashes in the Philippines. Of course we said, "What?" (Eli is sitting there nodding like this was a very rational and explainable event. Lucas continues by telling us that, "Auntie (worker at the orphanage) was "cutting her lashes" (through the hand signals we think this was curling her lashes) unfortunately the boys, being boys, must have thought they looked like scissors. When the Auntie left the room Eli decided his eye lashes need trimmed too. Except he used scissors. I'm surprised he had a eye lid left.
As we all sit around discussing this, Eli said, "But Lucas do it too." So all heads swing to Lucas, who smiles and says, "Yep, me say to Eli, you go first. Me no do it, auntie came back." Oh the wisdom of older siblings and the lessons the younger sibling learns the hard way.
