From The Storyteller
|
Result - A real time story from my 15 year old life.
My mother to me: What happened? Me: Nothing. Mom: Nothing? Me: We were kinda playing catch. Mom: With a football? Me: Yeah. Mom: In the living room? Me: Yeah. Mom: And that’s how my ceramic chicken on the shelf over the fireplace got broken? Me: No. We were being real careful. Mom: Then how did it happen? Me: It happened when Ken tried to get by me, and I tackled him. When he fell he fumbled the ball, it bounced off the lamp in the corner, and that caused it to bounce on to the shelf. Mom: THE LAMP! Is that broken too? Me: Kinda. It was an accident. If Ken hadn’t fumbled it wouldn’t have happened. Mom: Why tackle football in the living room? Me: Because it was too cold to play outside. Mom: You are grounded for two weeks. Me to Ken on the phone: I don’t know why she got so mad. Ken: Who can figure out mothers! Moral: Some results just don’t make sense. |
