Anything Else I Think of that Doesn't Have It's Own Catagory
"Growing old is mandatory... Growing up is optional."
Now that I've had my nice sappy, sentimental moment, on with the stories! Growing up with three siblings, and a farm with three generations of junk piled around made for lots of great opportunities! There are such classics in my family as "Kidney Beans" and "The Hay Fort" that will surely be passed from generation to generation... To serve as inspiration to all of you other middle children out there, here is some great ammo! It's been tried, and perfected, and it is ready to use!
The Next Story: The Bobsled track
My brother Craig and I were great compatriots as children. We had two other people who completed our group, Jon and Chris Mobley. Whenever Jon and Chris came over, the sky was the limit. One day, we decided that the sky was too close, so the only thing left to do was to make a spaceship. So, we spent all day with crayons and paper making instrument panels for our spaceship. Then, we taped the instrument panels on the bottom of our dining room table, and placed chairs laying on their backs to create our very own spaceship. We started to save the world from a terrible meteorite, when we realized that we had a problem. We couldn't lift off! Between the four of us, we couldn't make a sound that was enough like a space ship, so we got our trusty old vacuum cleaner out, and voila! We had sound, and proceeded to save the world several times that day.
