She’s A Brick House

It seems to be a terrible existence poor Samantha Roo leads. She had a normal childhood, of course, filled with crayons and gummy bears. She played basketball in grammer school and wrote poetry. In essence, she was your average American teen. Until that fateful day, homecoming her senior year. Her and her friends were dancing to bad pop music, as average American teens are wont to do. They gyrated in a dimly lit gymnasium, Christmas lights, bad disco ball effects; the works. A circle had developed around the group and one by one they went in and did they’re terribly clichéd dance moves, sometimes a break dancer would further add to the unoriginalness of the event. And then it was Samantha’s turn. She like her other svelte friends knew the right motions of the hips, the right twists of the body to get an applause.
And that is when the song changed.
Principal Gelo felt that the lusty teens were being quite a bit too lude for his tastes. The DJ abruptly changed the song to “She’s a Brick House,” pleasing neither students nor principle and especially not poor Samantha Roo. As she changed her hips to match the beat of the song the rebellious students sang the chorus and at that very moment young Samantha Roo turned into exactly that. A small, brick house, but a brick house all the same. Her mother and the medics were of course informed immediately. But there was simply nothing that could be done about the situation. After months and months of dealing with her daughters affliction Mrs. Roo could no longer afford the medical costs and moved into her daughter. There were problems almost immediately though.
At night Samantha would move and twist about in her sleep, shaking all of Mrs. Roo’s possessions about the house. And in the mornings Samantha would weep and weep so much that the rooms would all flood. Eventually Mrs. Roo could no longer handle the house that had once been her daughter, and moved out. Poor Samantha Roo moves from neighborhood to neighborhood, forever cursing The Commodores and there terrible use of metaphor.
