“Holy ole jump ins Tommy, where were ya? You
only live two or three minutes up the road and I told you to come over about
half an hour ago.”
“Oh Jimmy give me a break, I went
for a little adventure.”
“Well I gotta be home in about ten
minutes, so does Chris and Shane. You’re
no fun Tommy.”
“Well wait a sec till ya’ll go; I
gotta tell yous what just happened to me.”
“You better make it quick; you
already wasted all my play time. We were
gonna go down to the park for a swing, but so much for that plan.”
“Well, it went like this…….”
So I just left the house after ya’ll
called and got to the side walk. When I
looked down the road I noticed Miss McCully out washing her car so I figured I
would be nice and go for a visit. When I
went up to her and asked her how she was doing this fine day she just ignored
me, so I figured I would just wait around.
After a while she was still ignoring me so I started raining down
questions on her. She eventually got fed
up with me so she just spun around and drenched me with the hose. I figured then that she didn't want me around
so I started on my way again.
Once I got up the road a little ways
I ran into Mr. Huffington, the delivery man.
I stopped and asked him what he was up to. He said he was on his way to deliver some
chips to the grocery store when his truck broke down. He seemed to be awfully busy because he wasn't saying anything, so I figured I would treat myself to a bag of chips from his
truck. When I started to walk away he
was screeching and hollering something at me and I figured it was about the
chips, so I started running.
I ran back behind Mrs. Jane’s house
and ate my chips. They were salty and
crispy and … Sorry kinda got outta hand there. So, as I was saying I ran behind
Mrs. Jane’s house and I noticed that she was staring at me the whole time with
a sour looking face on. She scowled at
me saying “What in the good father’s name are you doing back here you rotten
little scoundrel!” I tried to explain to
her I was running from the delivery man, but she didn't really want to know in
the first place. She took her paper out
and started to role it up so I went on the run again. I jumped up on her shed, hopped on top of the
fence and climbed up her neighbor’s tree.
I really think the worst mistake I
made was climbing down from that tree. I
ended up in Mr. Roger’s back yard and worst of all he was mowing. The old grouch started chasing me around the
yard just yelling and hollering like a mad man.
Luckily, his granddaughter was in her play pen and started screeching at
the top of her lungs, so he had to stop the mower and calm her down. This gave
me a chance to escape. I hopped the
fence and ended up behind Killer’s, the old German Sheppard, dog house.
Actually, maybe that was the worst
mistake I made, I was never so scared in my life. I figured it would be safe if I climbed up on
his dog house, but that only got his attention.
He put his front paws on the side of the dog house and started barking
like I don’t know what. I was so scared
I booted him right in the snout and he backed right up and started
whimpering. I jumped off of the dog
house and ran straight here.
“Well
that’s my adventure.”
“All
of that happened in half an hour. Holy
crab apples!”
“You
bet it happened in half an hour. It was
quite the crazy time.”
“Sounds
like it. You are lucky you had a good
reason for being late. Well we gotta go;
we will talk to ya tomorrow. Same place,
same time. Next time come straight here
Tommy!”
