My family used to have this huge tent that we would set up in our backyard every year during the summer. One day a few years ago I had a few friends over and we were all going to sleep in the tent so that’s what we did. Once it got dark we went into the tent and just told stories. It was just like going camping because I live in a neighborhood with a lot of trees, its really quiet, and there’s no streetlights which make it pitch black so it was like being in the woods. You probably would think this is a good thing but it wasn’t at all that night. When it started to get late two of my friends fell asleep, but me and my other friend couldn’t. We just sat there trying not to be too loud but we started to get really creeped out. We kept hearing strange noises that sounded like something was outside the tent. The noises went on for around fifteen minutes and neither of us wanted to stay in the tent any longer. I quickly unzipped the zipper then me and my friend that was awake with me booked it to my basement and slammed the door shut. We went upstairs and slept on my couches. The next morning we went back outside to get my other friends from the tent and realized we didn’t close the tent back up. My two other friends were freaking out because I used to have fisher cats and coyotes in my neighborhood when this happened so they weren’t really thrilled that we left it open with them still inside. My friends and I that were still in the house thought it was hilarious but the two that were in the tent didn’t.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma used to have a dog named Bennie. My nickname for him was Beh. I really loved him but one of my favorite moments was really embarrassing for him. Ok so my Grandma has a cabin up on Province lake in New Hampshire. We go up there for the summer. They have a dock that goes out into the lake. Now Beh is quite a plump dog. He was around 12 at the time. My two young dogs were at the end of the dock. Beh is often overwhelmed by them. So I think he often tries to act cool around them. So my Grandma was walking Beh down the dock. Beh saw my two dogs Izzi and Rascal so he instantly tried to act cool. He shook his butt as he walked. But then he got so focused on acting cool for the young ones that he didn't watch where he put his paws. His back feet slipped off the dock and he struggled to hold on but the weight of his chubby stomach pulled him down into the water with a big splash. But my Grandma didn't notice so she was still walking him with the leash. H e got pulled through the water and it wasn't until after my mom jumped in and pulled him out that my Grandma noticed. after making sure he was OK we got a picture. I don't know why but that is still a camp story we love to tell to this day. Sadly Beh has passed away now but he was quite the comedian. That was one embarrassing day for Bennie.
ReplyDeleteWhat I’m about to tell you is absolutely a true story. This is from science class from earlier this year.We just started the physics and laws of motion unit. Mr.White was telling about all of these different and interesting physics experiments that people have done and have been successful.There is one that stood out in particular.It was called the giant balls.Mr.White was explaining it to us and he said,”OK now this experiment is particularly fun and interesting for the boys.What it is is a group of scientists did an experiment.What they did was they made two huge gigantic metal balls and hung them adjacent to each other.”Then a couple of the girls in my class said aw come on Mr.White that’s just disgusting.Then Mr.White said alright hang in there girls.So after they hung the two balls they took some measurements and actually saw that the ball on the right was actually attracted to the other by thousandth of an inch.Then one of the boys in our class shouted out,Well now all you need to do is put something in between them and you would have something really akward. Then Mr.White said “Alright you guys clearly can’t handle this so I’m just going to stop.

ReplyDeleteMy totally amazing story (which really deserves Blog Post of the Week) is about my old dog Thunder. One night at about 9:00pm I went to bed. When awoke the next morning I was surprised. Thunder was sleeping right next to my bed. He didn’t go to the bathroom or anything but he still upset my parents. Dogs aren’t allowed upstairs in my house. But that rule wasn’t really enforced though because Thunder was 10 and over 100 pounds. I woke up first that morning so I walked into my parents room and woke them up. So they tried to get Thunder out of my room and downstairs but he wouldn’t move. They pushed and pulled but he wouldn’t move. Eventually my dad got sick of it so he picked up Thunder and put him over his shoulder. Now remember Thunder was over 100 pounds so this wasn’t easy. Once my dad put Thunder down he bolted away from my dad and under a table. It was funny watching my giant dog cowering under a table.
One day when I was young my dad told me a story about when he was in Oklahoma at my cousin's farm. All of his brothers(4 of them) were riding on ponies. My Uncle Dan needed an adult horse due to his size. Anyways, my dad was trying to lasso a small cow which would one day grow up to be a bull. On his first try he threw it around my uncle Jim's neck. The next time was my uncle Dan's. The third time he got it around the cow. When he walked over to the cow the cow rammed into his legs and flipped him. My uncles thought it was hilarious. He didn't.
ReplyDeleteThis one time when I was like 8 or 9 my Dad and I were down by some docks. I was also with my little brother and sister. We were playing tag on the docks and we were having a lot of fun. i had slipped and fallen in the water next to the boat. If i hadn't been able to push the boats bow out of the way I would have been crushed. That was the most terrifying moments of my life.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger my grandfather told me a story.It was about a boy named a Jimmy and his teacher. One day Jimmy went to class without a pencil and had to write an essay for class.The teacher asks Jimmy:Teacher: “Jimmy, why aren’t you writing?” Jimmy: “I don’t has a pencil.Teacher: “Jimmy, that’s not a correct sentence.The correct way is: I don’t have a pencil; he doesn’t have a pencil; we don’t have a pencil.” Jimmy: “Who stole all the pencils then?”
ReplyDeleteSarah was reading a newspaper, while her husband was engrossed in a magazine. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "Listen to this," she said. "There's a classified ad here where a guy is offering to swap his wife for a season ticket to the stadium."
ReplyDelete"Hmmm," her husband said, not looking up from his magazine.
Teasing him, Sarah said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?"
"Absolutely not," he said.
"How sweet," Sarah said. "Tell me why not."
"Season's more than half over," he said.
A man in a bar sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself. Approaching the friend he comments, "You look terrible. What's the problem?"
ReplyDelete"My mother died in June," he said, "and left me $10,000."
"Gee, that's tough," he replied.
"Then in July," the friend continued, "My father died leaving me $50,000."
"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."
"And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000."
"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad."
"Then this month," continued the friend, "nothing!"
My friend, my sister, and I went camping in my backyard one Summer night. It was about 9:00pm my neighbor drove into his driveway and started howling we didn't know it was him so I looked outside and it was just my neighbor. We all started laughing. We stayed up longer and were just having fun. All of a sudden the trailer started shaking. We were so scared. We thought it was my neighbor again but it wasn't. It was racoons. my sister fell asleep so she didn't know what was going on. My friend and I were so scared because it seemed as if they were trying to get in. Then it stopped. I forgot my phone in my house so I couldn't call anyone. Then I realized that my ipod was with me I didn't think it would be able to call anyone but thankfully I had internet connection. I called my house phone and my dad answered. he came out to get us. When we got in the house we all started laughing, but my sister had no idea what happened.
ReplyDeleteOne time I went out to eat with some of my family members including some of my cousins. The night had gone great and pretty calm until we were getting ready to leave the restaurant. All the adults were paying the bill at the table so my cousins and I decided to go and wait by the front door when this crazy music started blasting! We had never heard the song in our lives but my younger cousin loved it. He started dancing and singing along to it and everyone in the restaurant started watching and laughing. But that wasn't even the worst part he decided to grab these manikins that were sitting at a table and dance with them. He took off their hat and started swinging it around and put on their sunglasses and was waving their arm up and down when all of a sudden the arm went flying. It had completely broken right off! It luckily fell on top of an empty table but my little cousin still became really embarrassed and ran out of the restaurant. All of my other cousins were dying laughing while I had to go grab the arm under some table. Then a waitress saw me with the arm and came up and asked me what happened but I couldn't even breath I was laughing so hard. My aunt then came over and apologized and had to pay for the damage and that's how my dinner with the family went and that's usually how it goes.
