Once upon a time…there was this kid. Who went on a youth trip with his youth group in a van driven by his youth pastor. And. The youth pastor stopped the van at a gas station, in order to buy gas for the van. So. The kid. It was just one kid. With his youth group. The kid decided to go inside…and buy himself a snack. So he walked down the whole 3 aisles in that gas station…because he wanted to find the best snack he could possibly find. So the kid, I don’t really know what was going on in his mind, but he…well…he picked up a boxed snack…and bought it. Because he definitely did not believe in stealing.

Rain Glasses
One day, I was driving in my car, when I saw…a most unusual sight. I saw a lady…riding her bike…in the rain…on Main Street…and she was wearing…goggles. Now. These were not swimming goggles. They were big, clear goggles that covered half her face…the kind of goggles a scientist would wear. It was as if she was in a chemistry lab. Except for one thing. She wasn’t. So. My hypothesis is that she watched the weather forecast…or at least had witnessed the clouds fighting for control over the sky that morning…and she didn’t want the potential rain to pelt her in the eyes. So she found some mad-scientist-looking goggles and turned them into…rain glasses. Continue reading “Rain Glasses”
Rabbit Trails
One day, I was taking a walk along the trail of my favorite institution of higher learning. Wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts, I had previously been hop(p)ing for a nice, sunny, warm day. Well, it was nice. And it was sunny. But. It was not warm. In fact, the breeze was quite cool, and I was beginning to wish with all my might for a jacket to keep the undesired coolness of the atmosphere at arm’s length. I was walking down the sidewalk, when all of the sudden, I saw a brown rabbit in the grass. Different from other rabbits I have seen before. He did not hop away as I kept getting closer and closer…and CLOSER. This was probably the closest I had ever been to a rabbit before, except for rabbits that I have seen inside a closed cage.

Sponge Candy
Back to the General Store in Marilla, New York. I was standing near the counter and looking at the candy. Not because I needed any…not because I wanted any. I was waiting on my mom to finish deciding which general items to buy from the general store. She had been doing that for over an hour. Browsing the names of the candy, my eyes fell on the words “Sponge Candy.” The package of eight small chocolate bars, selling for…$7.75. Sponge candy did not sound tastefully appealing to me. But being an extremely curious person, I wanted to know what it was. But not being an extremely forward person, I asked my dad to ask the lady behind the counter about it. So he did. Continue reading “Sponge Candy”
Over-Stuffed and Over-Priced
Walking down the streets of Marilla, New York with my family and our friends the Pollocks, I approached the General Store with much anticipation. I knew I would find something to buy. But I didn’t know what it would be. After about 37 minutes of shopping, I finally found what I was looking for. I had never seen anything like it. It was…it was a giant…a GIANT…stuffed…PENGUIN! This was no cartoon-looking penguin: it was the most real-looking fake penguin I had ever seen. Only having six dollars in cash on me, my spending capability was significantly limited.
