I see that you're good at negotiating Moonie .

I'm the only child so both my parents are over-protective and thus annoying about every little thing...my driving, my HAIR, my sleeping hours, what I eat, etc etc. I just tell them to back off, but they don't listen to me and I don't listen to them either

I'm an only child too and my parents are the same

I will definitely have time for this board, and if not, I will MAKE time

Good to know

So my co-workers are finishing a project and they keep texting me asking for scientific names of species, and for some reason I'm finding it absolutely hilarious . I mean, "Ozotoceros bezoarticus" is not the thing that you expect to be texting

only children! (i always wish I had a sibling or dog)

we did the same thing before biology and organic chemistry tests and it's the weirdest thing. Or have conversations about it at the food court and people passing by look at you funny.

I always used to wish I had a sibling too, but after hearing so many stories I decided maybe not . Besides, people who have sibling always wish they were an only child, and viceversa. It's like we're never happy .

We really aren't

I was supposed to be a twin. My mother always jokes like "I hope you were the troublemaker of the two"

I wanted a sister when I was really little, but I got an autistic brother instead


ETA: Okay, for the past few months my dad has been helping a friend of his, Lance, rent out some houses he owns. Basically, Lance puts out ads for them and my dad gets the phone calls from the people interested and shows them the house. And my dad just went by one of the houses today and saw the mailman putting some mail in the mailbox. So he told the mailman that no one lives there at this time and the mailman said that some family of his needs a house and asked to see inside. And after showing him the house, Lance called my dad and the mailman said that he knows Lance and so my dad handed the phone over to him so that they could talk

You're moving so fast with your posts!

I just found the previous "300 word" story. It is to die for:

Emerson Cod sprinted his way down the street when Chuck skipped around the corner. Chuck was going quickly down the avenue when suddenly a car hit her in the head. Even Ned couldn't believe how Chuck could laugh at the sad display of tragedy. He saw Olive bouncing a fake piece of fruit and a gigantic bear. Ned yelled and went out to find some purple and and blue gold party hats because they were on his other head. The only problem that he had was his tendency to cry a when he went to but some extra pieces of bread. Lily sneezed oddly as the bug jumped at the window, leaving Lily dumbfounded and confused. She searched for an area that it made it easier than climb that tree over the hill and walk towards the tree on the grass. Then, the squirrel screamed and Lily yelled. Vivian dropped her purse on the grass in a large pile of leaves. She tripped over the leaves and fell on her head. Vivian thought her dress had a snag in it. She stopped at the sight of Lily and Emerson making pies by the kitchen. Soon the sight made Ned sprint toward Chuck and Olive. They were all happy about how Emerson could cut meat in octagonal shapes. Then the phone rang. Digby answered, barking at the person who was calling. It was a dark alley where he found out the pies were made by Emerson. They walked quickly around the goose that was laying on its back. It was trying to run around without its beak twirling in the wind. The plane was starting to land but Chuck noticed that Emerson had not stopped to tie his knitting laces. He looked at her from his telescope.

A true piece of classic literature right there

They were all happy about how Emerson could cut meat in octagonal shapes.

LOLLLL

Aaannd the previous one:

Ned touched strawberries; one pie was stuffed then he decided rhubarb pie was next for the Pie-Hole. Ned called his friend Emerson he needed assistance again. Emerson was happy to catch Chuck patting his pony Skippy. Skippy was loving the attention and Olive was watching the interaction alone. Olive laughed as Skippy but suddenly a giant grasshopper stunned everyone who believed that grasshoppers were big. The only party was hot and big was located somewhere in the middle of the ocean. So Emerson decided the only thing to do was to cry. Olive said Emerson go get thirty tissues and dozen Chardonnay'/ we know if the roast is cooked by sticking some rosemary in its stomach and covering its head was gravy. They took toast to Chuck, later he ran out of his house he saw Ned running away from Emerson. But. Saw a little kittens he tried to stop them scratching their fur. Chuck decided to have some strawberries unfortunatly they tasted nothing like strawberries. Instead, he decided the lemon colored icing on the cake. After another task Ned stood up and clumsily tripped over the table. He apologized because the pies were ruined. However, Emerson sang the tine Simple. New Wasn't impressed. Instead, he began talking badly about golden flowers and gray elephans that walked down to grassy high mountains. They leaped blindly towards nearby couch and tumbled across the livingroom table falling onto the carpet. Lily caught bottle of wine and cheese from the falling table before it hit the floor. Olive leaped over Digby to chase him down the street when Ned yelled at Chuck. As Olive closed the door, she saw the dog.



It was all going well until the pony appeared in the story . I think this is my favorite line:

"So Emerson decided the only thing to do was to cry."

I always find those things so much fun to read

[Starfield_Scribe]

ugh... song hunting can be so hard!

Going out with momsie soon... we're off to get the 'boot' for her foot (hairline fracture, she needs to wear it for a month), then we're going to the bank, to the cell phone store to change our addresses and maybe get her contract renewed and get her new (free) phone, then going for my iPod, then my school books

Why is it so hard for parents to hold onto their kids at the gym 'til they get to the day care room? I mean, if the kid's around 8-10 and can follow the parents just fine and stay away from the machines, then there's no problem. But when kids around 2-3 wander over to me when I'm lifting heavy weights (and the parents are continuing towards the day care room), it just makes me very uncomfortable 'cause if they're quicker than I can see I could crush their hands under weights or something.

[strawberrypie]

Looks like you've got a busy day ahead of you Moonie!

Julie, I'm sorry they interrupted your work out. I don't like having kids running around me, so I understand

Bringing this over in case someone missed it:
