Graf #5
I don't think that the contents of my purse speak of my personality accurately. Sure, it may tell you that I am the cheapskate who buys her pocketbook at a yard sale. But how would you know that the reason I bought an affordable purse is that I had already spent my money on a large selection of expensive craftsman hand tools?(the digital torque wrench is to die for!) And what about the pink panther checkbook? I know, I know. It makes me sound a bit childish. But when all you have to choose from is a lovely cornucopia of football teams and babies wearing flowers and sitting in washbasins, the panther looks pretty chic. The cell phone does say what it needs to. I am clumsy. Sometimes I wonder if I was born with an industrial strength coat of teflon baked onto my palms. From all of the things on my inventory list, though, you probably have a picture of a broke, somewhat forgetful student and mother with two left feet, who drives too fast and doesn't leave the house without putting her face on. Well wait a minute. This is starting to sound a bit familiar...

Drives too fast, eh? I took your advice and was very light on the throttle, not just on 95 but all the way home.

My taste is this way: a piece that directly addresses the reader has got to be so strong otherwise that the reader forgets to object to the breaking of the frame the writer is committing.
