Yesterday in class we were
brainstorming, coming up with ideas for our next blog. Mrs. Caffey said it’d be
good to write about something embarrassing that has happened in your life. Now I’m
not going to write about something embarrassing about me, but I’ll write about
an incident with a good friend of mine.
My
partner in crime (Gage) and I are youngsters riding bikes up on the hill. We
constructed a very little ramp and we were trying to get some hang time off of
that. We had been riding for what felt like all day when all of a sudden our
good friend Kory comes riding his bike from his house right down the street. We
instantly started smiling because hanging out with Kory is always a good time! There
are 3 kids, 3 bikes, and 1 ramp; so you know how we boys are, we want to have a
competition to see who can jump the highest and farthest. We are having this competition for a good 15
minutes and I am clearly beating the other two competitors when all of a sudden
Kory wants to raise the bar. Now if you know Kory he isn’t the type to do
anything dangerous… or fun for that matter ;) (hehe just kidding kory) but he
goes and gets like three more bricks and decides he wants to jump higher. So we
are jumping this new and improved ramp for a little bit, things are going well
until Kory starts complaining saying his bike is broken and not in a stable
condition to be jumping right now. Gage and I start to badger him calling him
names for being a chicken and just being scared because I was winning. Kory
being the competitor decides to give it one more go…
Kory is
looking marvelous, his wonderful locks flowing in the wind as he approaches the
ramp at a breakneck speed. He reminds me of superman when he takes flight, like
that is how good he looks. (not really, just trying to build up the suspense) Then
he hits the ramp and soars through the air, you can tell things are about to
get bad by the expression he makes. His bike lands awkwardly on the pavement
and he crashes to the ground. Now I’m not an expert biker, but it wasn’t that
bad of a crash, but the way Kory reacted you would have thought it was
horrible. He starts crying… and cussing!!! We all know Kory is an angel child,
and has never spoken a bad word in his life. The 20 minutes after that
crash he had the
worst potty mouth I have ever witnessed. He was lying on the pavement rolling
around shouting expletives, but when he decided to get up Gage and I discovered
he only had a little scratch on his pinky! It was the funniest thing I have
ever seen in my life. Kory left and went home and we didn’t see him again for at
least two weeks.
Kory, I
know you are going to read this and you are going to try to explain what really
happened. There is no point in doing that because Gage was there too. We know
what we saw. :)
