Jamie

My parents say that something else happened, but I know what truly happened that summmer day. I was about 4 or 5 years old and had gone to my Aunt's house with my mom one day. In her backyard she has this super steep hill covered in garden thigs except for a small path that went down from the top of the hill to the bottom by the edge of the property by the fence. At the bottom of the hill there was a tree that kind of blocked the ppath way down. I had been up at the top of the hill looking at all of the pretty flowers. My cousin Jamie came up the hill too aparently to make sure I didn't hurt myself, but I think he had a different idea. Jamie was about 25 or so at the time.

I decided that I was done looking at the flowers, so I started back down the path to the backyard. I began to stumble, I felt hands on my back, then I was rolling down the hill. I finnallystopped rolling at the bottom of the hill and I went crying to my mom. Nobdy seemed to be very worried about me though. I know what Jamie did that day, and he is never going to forget what he did to me. Everyone says that I tripped, which I baleive, and that Jamie tried to stop me from falling down the hill. Some parts of this story are true, but not everything is. What happened that day, I will never forget.

Life Lesson: Watch your back when your cousins are around!

Ice Cream Flavors

When you think about it, ice cream is a lot like people. I don't mean like in a physical way but in a different way. Like there are so many different flavors of ice cream and there are kind of different flavors of people, if you understand what I'm trying to say. There are sweet and sour ice creams, and there are also some people who are sweet because they are nice or whatever. There are also sour people like the person who yells at you for walking across their lawn. People are like ice cream.



My favourite flavor of ice cream is Rainbow. It is the most fun ice cream flavor of all time. This flavor is a lot like the people I like to spend my time with. All of my friends are so much fun. They also aren't afraid to show their true colours, just like the colours in the ice cream. If I had to pick what flavors my friends are they would be the following: Hayley-Strawberry, Blayne-Cookies & Cream, Jamie-Vanilla, Emilie-Justin Bieber(if that's possible)! They are all so much fun, and aren't afraid to be them self.

If you ask a person their favourite flavor of ice cream, sometimes they seem like that flavor. Like my friend Jamie. Her favourite flavor is chocolate. She is like the chocolate because she is very simple. Every one also likes her and pretty much everyone has at one point liked chocolate ice cream. Emilie's favourite flavor is mint chocolate chip. She is like this flavor because she is full of fun little things, and she is always exciting. Many people are actually very similar to their favourite ice cream flavor. What's your favourite flavor? Are you anything like it?

Life Lesson: Don't be afraid to show your true colours!!!

Hashbrown

When I was little I went to the mall with my mom one day. We were walking around, and like always we stopped at the pet store. In the front window there were four of the most adorable puppies that you have ever seen. They were Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Poodle crosses. There were three boy puppies and one girl. I was set on getting one of these puppies. My favourite one was the darkest brown one. It ended up that the one I liked was the girl. My mom fell in love with the puppy as fast as I did, but there was only one problem. I had to get my dad to agree to buy the puppy.


It ended up not being that hard to convince him to buy the puppy, who at the time was called Shelby. I think that he fell in love with her the minute that he saw her, although he won't admit it. After filling out all the paperwork we were allowed to take Shelby home. Right when I got home I knew what Shelby's new name was going to be. She was a dirty brown colour with a darker stripe down the middle of her back and on her ears. I thought that she looked like a hash brown so that is what I called her. Hashbrown turned out to be the most adorable dog, and she is pretty well behaved too. I love Hashbrown and so does everyone who meets her.





Life Lesson: Dogs actually are a man's (and woman's) best friend!!!

Gooey Band-Aids

Who knew you could get something like a chemical burn from putting vinegar on the sticky stuff left behind from band-aids? Well I guess you can! Last year in the springy summery time I got a horrible horse fly bite. I could not stop scratching it! After scratching it for about 3 days, and almost having myself pick it off, I couldn't stand myself constantly scratching it. I put a band-aid on it so that I would stop scratching it but it didn't work. I kept scratching at the band-aid, and decided that I had to do something to the actual bug bite.



My mom said that if you put vinegar on bites it takes the itch away, so I thought that I might as well try it. When I took the band-aid off, gooey sticky band-aid glue was left behind. I didn't think that it would matter that it was there. Unfortunately for me, the vinegar and the band-aid glue made like a chemical reaction and it looked like it burnt my skin. After a couple days my skin began to peel of my leg, and I could barely walk it hurt so much. The one day that we were outside for gym class the back of my leg was showing and one of my friends thought that my leg had caught fire or something, and that was what was left behind. It was so terrible! My leg still has a scar on it from the band-aid gooeyness.



Life Lesson: Don't mix vinegar and band-aid gooey stuff!!!
