A truly ultimate Sarah story would have her saving the day in a truly selfless, practical way and then saying something funny, but this one comes pretty close:
(as told to me by Rachel)
Sarah, on the phone: Today was a crazy day! I have a whole bunch of kids here, and it's raining so they can't go outside, and there's a pig head in the yard and I don't know where it came from, and then Mom needs a thing, and...
Rachel: hold up. Wait a sec. Go back to the part about the pig head?
Sarah: yeah, Nate (the renter) called to complain that there's a pig's head in the front yard, but how am I supposed to know where it came from???
----sometime later, Sarah calls around to the neighbors (as one does) and inquires as to whether any of them are missing a pig's head. Turns out some of the neighbors raise pigs, and this particular head probably came from them. Sarah (responsible landlady) calls Nate back:
Sarah: well, yeah, the pig head came from Neighbor McNeighbor up the road. So you can take it back there if you want.
Nate: why do I have to do it?
Sarah: because I don't care.
-------The End----
I like this story, because it is a typical Sarah day, with kids and craziness, and taking care of the house and property, and also it's a very Auberry story. Theo, who is doing a school unit on Southern Gothic literature, said "that is very Auberry gothic." He is not wrong.
