Coz' Pretty Ain't Close Enough, Honey - Cliff Notes Edition

She was a pretty one, that girl, but she weren't none too bright. That's okay though, cos' mama always told her that as long as she was beautiful, she'd never have to take care of 'erself. Some big strong man or another would protect 'er and feed 'er and give 'er babies. Mama was always concerned mostly 'bout the babies. She wanted grandchildren, an' most of the other sisters weren't just dumb, they was ugly too.11

Jeanie was a beautiful thing, really. I'm not ashamed to admit that at all. She got all the best genes our bloodline had. Sadly, as I said before, those didn't include the smart ones. My other sisters are still in that dead-end town, and I got out through force of will. Smarts had nothing to do with it. She was pretty though, and she knew it, and so did every one else. I suppose that was the problem really. Everyone else knew it, and jealousy is an awful thing. Brings out the very worst in people. Now, I'm not saying the other girls bullied her or anything, but they didn't treat her too kindly either. She didn't have any friends, but none of the other girls were gonna do anything to her so long as I was around. 44

Yeh, my baby sister was pretty, but 'n th' end, she was as ugly as God makes 'em.

    Wow, I love the dialect typing. Don't see that often, and sometimes it's really hard to read, but you did a great job. I'm left very curious about which way that last "ugly" meant! Sounds like, from this part, it would make a good TV show.

    I'm really quite interested by this! I feel like I want to read the full version now even though I got enough from your teaser to understand the general idea of the story. I liked the style in which you wrote it and left me curious for more. Good entry - good luck!

    I found this whole peice to be funny.
    It made me laugh so hard I snorted.
    What is the message behind it?
    What inspired it... to know these things first would give me an indication on what to read.
