William's Wonders

During Christmas break, on December 28, 2010, my dad took me to a shooting range and I got to try a .22 pistol.  Then I tried a .45 pistol (it spun all the way over and back!)  When we got home, my mom said she wanted to keep the target I used as a souvenir, since I had never been before.  Then my dad and me, cleaned all the guns, he had a few cool shotguns.

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!

One day I DID NOT have school, so mom told me to sleep in, and then she left.     …So, my dad called me to wake me up (for school). So he tells me to get dressed and eat while he takes a shower.  So he gets out and I am standing in the middle of my room half naked and half asleep.  So of course he yells at me. After I eat breakfast I say “but dad, I don’t have school today.”  But then dad joked about it, and said, “what would have happened if I said that at the bus stop.”  He was so sorry and told me to go back to bed, if I wanted to.
