William's Wonders

One day I was in study hall and I was doing my spelling.  After recess was over, I accidentally left my homework folder in study hall and somehow one of my books got stuck in someone else’s desk.  A few weeks later (November 24, 2010), my mom went to get me a new homework folder while I was at drums.  Unfortunately, they didn’t have red, so she got me orange.  She said, “The best way to find your old folder is to BUY a new one.”  Which happened to be true, the next day at the end of the school day, Ms. Pedrett found in the lab, my homework folder and a missing book (not mine).  That same day we rearranged our desks and the person’s desk who I got, had my missing book in it!  Murphy’s Law (PS. We decided to keep the orange folder).

Have you ever seen a drum set?  One day (on November 14, 2010), I was talking with my dad and we decided to sell my old ATV.  He finally got to sell it to someone and I got $200.00.  After school the next day, we went to buy a drum set from a man named Al.  Coincidentally, Al used to be my instructor’s instructor for drums!  And then my mom told me that there is something called the rule of six. [NOTE: from mom:  it’s actually called 6 Degrees of Separation]  It means if you meet someone, then you can figure out how you know them through six people or less.  I knew him through ONE, James, my instructor!  After that, we went to a place that is similar to 5 Guys called Smash Burger.  I still say my dad’s cooking is better 😉  We went home and I did homework while dad setup the drums.

THUMP!  The house vibrated.  I was playing on my drums and my sister, Courtney, was upstairs (she has a whole other story) and I was annoying her!  She said it was the worst idea, I say it was the best!  Then Heather came in because she heard me playing, so I hit the crash cymbal as hard as I could.  She clutched her ears!  It was very funny.

To learn more about that day, you can read my sister’s blog:  A Bad Idea or you can also read my mom’s blog:  We Convert A Living Room

NOTE:  My draftbook from school helped me write this post.  THANKS Ms. Herzog!
