Some Crazy Stories

So my posting this week will be less frequent, and look stranger than I thought for this week. My main posting source was taken away, so I am stuck trying to find ways to do staff. Anyways, enjoy.

Some things I've done have been crazy, insane, or just plain dumb. Here's a couple of examples…

Rattlesnake

So, I have a history of impulsiveness. But this time I almost got myself killed. I was walking with my puppers Bella through a wash, and wasn't paying to much attention. Bella stop to sniff something, and so I glanced at it. I quickly did a double take, and to my horror, she was sniffing a rattlesnake. I yanked on her leash, and she jumped back. The hilarity and the fact she was a safe distance away helped me calm down. And, like any sane person would, I tested to see if it was still alive. Turns out it was, because when I poked it with a stick, it slithered a bit, still a little groggy(it was morning and it was still decently cool). I looked at it for a minute, and then was struck with a brilliant idea. ‘How cool of a story would it be if I poked it with my bare hand?’

Apparently, the snake had taken this time to wake up, because when I went to poke its rattle, it curled up and lunged at me. By that time, I managed to get out of the way of the snake. And that is my story of being dumb with a wild rattlesnake.

Wagon:

So this is one from when I was younger. My great grandma had two driveways. When gently sloped and curved down to the road. The other was really steep. Anyways, my great grandma told me to take my brother in a wagon down the drive way. Being the child I was, I thought she obviously meant the closer driveway. So I started heading down the steep driveway, with my brother in tow. The wagon began to pick up speed, and I began panicking, because I was not big enough to stop it. I couldn't outrun a speeding wagon, and jumping out of the way would mean my brother crashing into the rocky sand below. So, I tried to jump backwards into the wagon. I successfully got all but a leg in. That leg got stuck under the wagon, and I skinned myself from a little above the knee cap to my toes. Most weren't deep, but I did have to use rubbing alcohol on it, so that was a great experience.

Jelly Beans:

So, this one is more of a prank. I got these awesome jelly beans which had habanero pepper seeds in them. I tried them myself, and it was one of the funniest things to watch. When you eat one, it starts out like a normal jelly bean, sweet and sugary. Then suddenly, your mouth starts burning. I naturally brought them to school and handed them out, just to see people’s faces. And I wasn't disappointed. It started to get out of hand, though. This one girl kept eating them, to the point she threw up.

The other time was when I brought the bean boozled game thing to school. The faces were also priceless. This one kid nearly threw up because he was determined. He wanted to get a good jelly bean, but he kept getting awful ones. He got about 7 bad ones in a row before he stopped.

Lost:

Once upon a time my family decided to take a trip to Idaho. We were canoeing down a river, and my brother and I kept going around these islands. Well on this one turn, it lead a us away from the river. At the time, I was about 10-11, and my brother was about 7-8. And we were lost. On a river. In Idaho. My little brother started crying, and I wanted to do the same. I knew I couldn’t, because that would have distressed Some things I've done have been crazy, insane, or just plain dumb.

So I kept leading him around, knowing we would have to find our own way back, or wait a few hours for search and rescue. We did manage on our own, but it took us roughly an hour and a half to find our family.

There's a few of my crazy stories, and I'll try to put on a few more things like this. Any who, this is Ana. Bidding all you fine ladies and gentlemen, good bye. And good tidings.
