Motorcycle Mischief

                                     
         I'm writing this story about my dad because I thought it was funny and very clever. When my dad was about six years old, he and his older brother (my uncle) played a trick on their mother (my grandma) by using a mini Honda motorcycle. My dad wasn't allowed to ride the motorcycle because he was to young. When his mom was washing dishes, they knew she would be looking out the sink's window. They turned on the motorcycle behind the house, put it in neutral and my dad's brother gave him a strong push so it looked like he was riding the motorcycle past the window his mom was looking out. Grandma definitely saw him riding the motorcycle (as so it seemed) and raced out the door yelling, "Jeffrey! Get off that motorcycle right now!" Dad and his brother started laughing as they explained to her that it was a trick and that the motorcycle wasn't in gear. They sure had given their mother a fright!

  3. That's certainly um . . . creative! I probably would have done the same thing.

Silas's honest paragraph

                                                   The over used expression There is a word that I hear nearly 10 times a day. This word is the reason we are not meeting here today. Yes, I believe that it is a good idea to social distance, but why don’t we take our minds off of this pandemic for at least an hour. All I See is memes about this word. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about and that’s why I’ve decided not to say it. So far I’ve lasted 6 days without saying this word.   

Surprise or Not

Thursday was the day before my dad's birthday, so Mom, Callie, and I went to the Burger Dive and Dairy Queen to buy gift cards for him.  At suppertime my family was talking about a friend who went to the Burger Dive.  I asked my mom if she saw him there.  She stared at me. My sisters started asking if we went to the Burger Dive.  I tried to remind my mom, "Mom, don't you remember? We went there today for Dad's gift card. Don't you remember?" She stared pointedly at me.  Dad laughed and asked if we got him a Burger Dive gift card.  We all burst out laughing. It doesn't end there though.  Mom began talking about how busy the Burger Dive was and my sister, Callie said, "Not as busy as Dairy Queen!" Another birthday gift cover blown!

Quaratine

                       I think we all feel about the same about being quarantined, but I would like to tell you about what I think. it is awesome to spend time with my family. I've had a bit more time to do out door activities but all of our fun events got canceled like Church, youth group, and soccer. I do get to stay in touch with friends even though we don't get to actually see them. my family and I  have youth group on zoom and we get to watch church on our tv. School keeps me busy so I'm not bored out of my mind but over all I wish we didn't have to do this.
