FLASHBACK 2006 (ish)

"i will remember you...will you remember me?"
i discovered my favorite scent completely by accident. i was at hot topic and saw rag doll sitting on the shelf. at only $20, i thought for sure it would stink to high heaven. it didn't. emma is curled up in my lap, soon after, playing with my poison ring. yes. i wear a poison ring. she leans into my neck "aunt chrissie, you smell good". she mentions the poison ring to anybody that will listen. people wonder if i'm a witch. i don't mind. 
FLASH FORWARD 2011
jamie's nephews always ask me about my poison ring. trace "what do you put in there?" me "magic potions" t "what KIND of magic potions?" me "whatever kind" t "so. ummm. you could turn uncle jamie into a frog?" me "yep". 
we show up to a family gathering. i warn the boys that i WILL be turning their uncle jamie into a frog. they bug me all day long. finally, jamie asks me to get him a beer. "it's happening now boys!". i open the bottle and, when jamie isn't looking" the boys stare as i open the poison ring and empty the contents into his beer. their eyes widen as he takes a sip. nothing happens right away. the boys are disappointed. about 15 minutes pass. "ribbit". little boys are giggling. "ribbit ribbit". little boys are rolling in the floor with laughter. 
and this is my legacy. this is how i will be remembered. they will remember my scent. they will remember my poison rings. best of all, they will remember my magic.
today is the last day of "what will your legacy be"month. so...what will your legacy be?
