  • Rock Paper Scissors

    I was babysitting yesterday, and one of the little girls asked me if I would play rock paper scissors with her.

    So, of course I said yes (I try to be a good babysitter lmao).

    "Ready... set.. Go!" She says. "Rock.. Paper. Scissors.... DYNOMITE!!!!"

    I stared at her, my hand frozen in scissor form. "Dynamite?" I asked.

    "Yeah. It's awesome! It beats everything! I always use it!"

    I don't remember there being a dynamite.. But I decided not to argue with her. And we kept on playing.

    My question is: if dynamite beats everything, then why would anyone choose a different one?

  • back when sisters were fun...

    I miss when my sister was fun. We used to play together nonstop. We'd play anything, everything. Our favorite games were Tarzan and Cops'n'Robbers

    Now Tarzan, of course, was pretty much like house, only you were outside. We "lived" in our tree house. We gathered acorns, funny-looking weeds, and buck-eyes to cook as our food. We used to play that from 3:00 until it got dark.

    Cops'n'Robbers was a more painful game. We had one of those swing sets that included two swings and a see-saw type of thing. The robber would stand up on the teeter-totter and make it swing back in forth. The cop would sit on the swing farthest from the robber and throw the other swing around the robber. The goal was to get the swing wrapped around the robber, keeping it from moving.

    Of course, in the Winter, Dad made us shovel the sidewalk and driveway. So me and Sis would gather shovel all the snow into buckets and carry it all into the back yard. We would make the biggest pile we could, and then dig tunnels through it.

    But ever since my sister went to public school she doesn't want to have anything to do with me any more. It's all about her. She wants to watch tv so I have to give her the remote. If she wants to lay down on the couch, I have to get off of it. If she needs to get on the computer that I'm on, I have to get off of it and get on the other one.

    She refuses to even have snowball fights any more. She says they are for immature little kids. I miss having snowball fights every day when it snowed.

  • Mega Monsters

    Of all the energy drinks out there, I gotta say that Monster is my favorite. But it wasn't until last weekend that I had my first Mega Monster. Oh wow, what an experience...

    Diane finally picked me up at 4:15 (OMG! She was 15 minutes late!!). We spent the whole car ride talking about hot guys (what else is there to talk about when you live in a small town?). Then Diane's mom, Rachel, made an observation that we were almost out of gas. When she pulls into the gas station she says "Here, Diane. Go get me a Mountain Dew, there should be enough for you to get a drink too!"

    Inside the gas station we went, and when we reached the drink isle, I saw that they were out of the normal Monsters. Diane decided she would settle for a Rockstar. No, thanks. Rockstars do nothing for me. And then, I saw it! A giant 32 ounce container of Mega Monster. I knew I had to try it, after all, we were going to be up until 8 in the morning or later!

    Me and Diane decided that we should just wait until we got to the basketball game to drink our energy. But about 5 minutes from the game, we broke down and opened them. Oh, it was the most amazing thing I had ever tasted!

    As we were carrying our drinks with us up to the Conseco Feild House, I noticed a sign. It said "No food or drink from outside the building allowed in. Thank you for your cooperation." I nudged Diane and pointed at the sign. "Oh I'll show them cooperation! Cooperation right up their ------"

    "DIANE!" I said, completely offended that she would ever disobey a polite sign that said thank you.

    Rachel turned and looked at us. Hurry up girls. We're going inside in 2 minutes. Just then the doors to the Feild House opened. Me and Diane rushed to the trash cans and chugged down our energy drinks. Let me tell you, chugging a Mega Monster is not fun. But afterwards every time I burped it tasted like Monster!

    I can't wait for another one of those!

  • Never think

    So, I've been thinking again. And you know what conclusion I have come to? Thinking is bad. That in itself should cover it all. But what fun is a four sentence blog? It's no fun at all!

    1. Thinking is confusing. Such as this horribly deep thought: Can a gay guy and a lesbian go out? I mean think about it: a gay guy can be kinda like a girl (personality wise, of course) so  it would work for the lesbian. A lesbian can kinda be like a guy.
    2. Thinking leads to too many thoughts. Continuing my example, if things would work out between the gay couple, would they really be considered a gay couple?
    3. Thinking will offend everyone. Just imagine, how mad some gay people would be if they read this example!
    4. Thinking is distracting. Have you ever seen someone with a blank expression on their face? And you keep trying to talk to them but the keep zoning out? You have to scream at them, and when they finally come back to you, they just smile like an idiot and say 'Well... you know.. I was just thinking about something. What did you say?"
    5. Thinking hurts! Have you ever been tried to walk and think at the same time? It doesn't always turn out very well does it?

     Well, I think I've given enough examples for you to think about how thinking is bad.

  • Shopping with the after story!

    Scroll down for the update!

    So, I went shopping with my grandma today. I forgot how crazy that old lady could be!

    We started off by going to this Mexican restaraunt with the hottest waiter I've ever seen my whole entire life. Oh em gee! I think he liked me too. He kept staring at me. He was probably atleast twenty. That's kinda creepy. But he even offered to get me a fresh cup of Coke in a to-go cup. He even brought me a new straw! Isn't that sweet?

    But that grandma of mine opened up her  mouth and said really loud "Mary Grace, you're not going to dump Scott for this guy are you?" I gave her a very confused look. "I see you flirting with that guy!" Then she turns to him and says "Now, Sir, I think you are a very nice waiter, but my grandaughter is a minor. You could get arrested. Stay away from her, she has a nice boyfriend. Infact, they're practically engaged!"

    At which point, I conviently had a brief asthma attack to cover up anything else she might have wanted to say. That poor waiter. Any chance I would've had with him is now gone.......

    So, when we got back to my house, Dad was the only one home. He asked how our shopping trip went. The first thing Grandma says is "We are never going to that Mexican restaurant again. There's nobody but pedophiles working there!" Then she went into some long exaggerated story about some disgusting-looking young fellow was hitting on me. She even told him that he had asked me to come back and grab a beer with him! My poor dad was horrified.

    The moral of the story: never go to Mexican restaurants with your grandma!
