Lesson Learned

When I was younger my Mom and Dad would tell me not to put things in to the outlets in the house. They said if I did that it would send electricity threw my body, and I would be really hurt; but it still didn't stop me.

So, one day while sitting in class our science teacher was telling us if we are standing on rubber that electricity wouldn't pass threw us and we would not be as hurt as we would be if we weren't standing on it. When I arrived home from school I took a good hard look at the outlet, I thought to myself, "There is no way it could hurt that bad. Just a little shock wont hurt." You know... when people are telling you can't do anything, you just want to do it more. Well, that is exactly how I felt at that moment in time. I grabbed a pencil and a rubber mat and stuck the pencil in the outlet and man it shocked the crap out of me, and let me tell you, it did NOT feel to great.

That day I really learned my lesson to not to ever put something in a outlet again. And now that I know I can tell everyone not too, because I knew exactly how it felt.

My father had left our house in the midst of a fight,between Lindsey and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her to the Y, to swim. Without thinking, Lindsey had blared "I'd rather die!" at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze, then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket, took the car keys off the hook by the back door, and snuck out.

As the old man approached my friends and me. I started to worry it was almost dark and we should be heading home about now. He was barefoot, and looked really creepy. The old man was about a block away from us; beside the basketball courts walking slow. We were trying to figure out a plan to get away from the play area, but we didn't wanna do anything to obvious to show that we were scared of him, because our bicycles were at the basketball courts.

The old man started to get closer and closer, and we started to panic even more. He started to yell "muffin","muffin." Then he started saying other words, that sounded a lot like gibberish, We were very confused and very scared. I mean what could two girls do to a grown man? And on top of that we left our bags beside our bikes, and our phones were in it. Wow this isn't good!

He was about to reach where we were and I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what to do. Do I scream, run or attack him? I was so frightened. When he started to get closer, where I could see his face he started to look like my neighbor (practically family), and come to think of it, it was him! i was so glad to see that it was him. "Have you seen a dog around here? I just got her and I took her out for a walk and she escaped from her dang collar again! She is such a little rascal," my neighbor said. We told him that we would be more than welcome to help him find "Muffin" we went and grabbed our flashlights and headed off to help him.
