How does an uncle become a rock? Never mind 4 of them.

ok now i wanna be a rock too

I can rock the world but can’t figure out how to rock myself. Trout makes it seem simple. She is wiser than I.

“I am a rock; I am an i-i-i-island.”—Simon & Garfunkel.

She will be a rock star No doubt

I think you misheard a few conversations…. Your uncles didn’t become rocks. They are breaking rocks at the big house.

I’m going to be an agate. Way better than a potato, anyway.

Hmmm. I’ve had people tell me I am a real gem. Is this what that means?

i think trout’s full of schist…

They both could be reclassified as potatoes—couch potatoes.

And, she is slated for reclassification…

The type of rock she’ll be? Ingenuous. But, she won’t be taken for granite…

( ͡~ ﹏ʖ ͡~ )

Would those be some of the uncles who are always visiting Trout’s mother?

Trout has more than her share of “uncles” and is grateful that they pay the rent and buy groceries so that her mom don’t have to work.

Some of my friends have reclassified themselves as stones

It worked for Dwayne!

4 uncles did not become rocks,they were only stoned.

Sounds like a waste of a person to cut back to being one step away from dead as a living zombie.
