My Memory Map Tour

The car kept driving when finally it slowed down in front of a long driveway surrounded by pine trees. A small sign at the end of the drive way read "ANTIQUES" was painted in red and white. Our car crunched along the gravel driveway and in front of us a house loomed into view. It was a beige brick house with a brown roof. The window-frames were painted blue while the doors and the garage door white. There was a cement porch by the garage and the front door and a small paved driveway in front of the garage. On the side of the house there was a big weeping willow.

But we didn't stop in front of the house like I thought we would, instead we turned to the right where the driveway continued around a small forest. We parked in front of a large white and blue, tin shop, the antique shop I guessed. Father told me to get out of the car and run around a bit, for his business with the shop owner would take a while.

I got out of the car and stretched my legs. I shot a look around and realised there was a smaller building just beside the shop. This one was made out of wood but it was still white and it had a black roof. There was a brown wooden porch in front of this smaller building too.

A young boy of about my age came out of the shop with the shop owner and came my way. He asked if I wanted to have a look around because he wouldn't mine showing me. I wispered a silent yes. The boy showed me to the back of the house. There was a treehouse a sandbox and two swing sets there. One of the swing sets looked like it was made for little kids for the swings were low to the ground and a small blue slide ran beside it. The tree house had a long yellow slide attached to it, had a yellow wheel at the top a small fake kitchen at the bottom and monkey bars behind it. The boy told me it was fun to play pirates inside. The sandbox was full of toys. Some for sand and others regular house toys like figurines and cars. The other swing set was made of steel and painted blue. The swings looked strong and everybody could use it.

Behind the structure there was a very big garden with nothing in it. But I wasn't surprised because it was the beginnig of fall and they must have finished harvesting it. The boy brought me to a grove of pine trees where a fire pit was it the middle. Dried wood was piled in the woods behind. You could hardly see it, though.

He then brought me to a shed where he said his cats and his rabbit lived. On the right side of the shed there was a big choke-cherry tree and on the left a pen where his dog lived.

I than heard Father screaming my name. I thanked the boy and ran to Father. I decided I wouldn't mine living in the country. It was fun.

When you beat a boy at a sport

Boys always think that girls are weak and that they don't like gym. So it  really is a thrill when you finally beat them, be it at tug-a-war or just scoring on them in soccer.

 First they look at you in disbelief and cry in shock"I can't believe I got beat by a girl!". The shock might stay there for  couple of minutes but then they will start to invent excuses like "I let them win" or "I was going easy on her".

While he is struggling to regain his pride, you are enjoying your victory and watch him struggle. Trust me it is the best thing you'll see in a good while.

AWESOME!!!
