Daft in a Raft
My grandparents (from the kumquat story) just got a new raft. So, while me and my cousin Kayla were at their house, we thought it'd be fun to use.
We didn't know how horribly, terribly wrong we were.
It started off nice. A little slow, I have to admit. But then me and my cousin decided to jump off and swim along.
I jumped off, then she next. The water was freezing cold! We immediately tried to get out. But there was one problem: No ladder, no rope, no anything. And for me: No upper body strength.
After about 5 minutes of hanging off the side of the raft, my cousin got up. I was stuck on the side, still unable to pull my self up.
My grandma and cousin pulled to no avail. The rope on the side (there was one rope hanging across) did no help at all except keep me from going off the edge.
It took me over a half hour until I could get back up.
Moral of the story: I will never go in a raft again.

Summer
I haven't posted in a while, and that is because I am working on something big.
Here's a silhouette:
DAILY FOOBINI
(Letters aren't very good for silhouettes)
I will be leaving for most of the summer (I'll be back in 5 weeks), and I may not have much computer access.
When I do, though, I'll post whatever I have.
Stay tuned!

Did You Know Gullible Is Written On Your Kumquat?
My grandma is really gullible.
Yesterday, I was on the phone with her. My grandpa was sick, and she was food shopping. So I made a suggestion.
"Get him a kumquat. There isn't a man in the world who doesn't enjoy getting a nice, big kumquat. Getting a man a kumquat makes his life complete."
I expected her to start laughing, but she then did something even funnier.
She said (seriously) that she was about to start looking for a kumquat.
My Grandfather's gonna be pretty confused.

False Advertising 2
Yesterday, there was a party I went to. It was called the 8th grade soiree. It's theme: Mardi Gras.
It had the beads, the colors, but there was one rule (just like in False Advertising 1 with the cell phones) they enforce you couldn't have: Masks.
Masks are a pretty main thing on Mardi Gras, so this caused a lot of controversy. People wanted masks, and they kept on asking why, but the school (for a reason I can only guess) said you can't have them.
So when I walked into the room, I was surprised to see, hanging in silver from the balloons, masks.
But that wasn't all.
Right as you walked in, enormous on the left wall, was the most prominent decoration.
I leave it to you to guess what it was.

Cinco De Mayo Joke
My shop teacher told me this one:
In Mexico, there was a time when people really loved mayonnaise. They ate so much, they ran out of it!
They soon ordered some more to come in by ship. The people were elated. But some had a bad feeling. The ship was titled the Titanic.
As we all know, the Titanic sank. The Mexicans were so sad they created a holiday to mourn the loss.
It's name: Sink-o de Mayo.
(Play on Cinco de Mayo, it's Sink of the Mayonnaise.)
