They are all wet..
.
My pants.
.
My pants are all wet.
.
There are a couple of different reasons why my pants could be wet.
.
9 out of 10 times your answer would have been correct.
.
Not this time.
.
Have you heard that some people try to get the last of the candy out of the vending machine by tipping and shaking the machine?
.
I heard that someone at our church tried to do the same thing with the water cooler.
.
The boy tried to get some water out of the cooler, when the water didn’t come out he might have started to push and shake the cooler.
.
The water cooler eventually fell over.
.
The water that was in the cooler splashed all over the floor and all over my,
I mean the boy’s clothes.
.
So I heard.
.
Sometimes, if a boy is very busy or very scared or tips the water cooler, the result can be the same.
.
So no one will know for sure why my pants were wet.
.
They just assumed it was from the water in the water cooler.
.
Who am I to correct them.
.
Joseph and I were playing a new game.
I was showing Joseph how to play the game.
It is an alphabet game.
You can see I know my alphabet.
M, N, O, , Q, R, S,
Where is the “P” you ask?
.
The same place it was when the water cooler fell over.
.
Running down my leg.
.
Some jobs are just big.
We had a big job to do this week.
.
Joseph has a different idea of a big job.
.
We had to level out 3 yards of crushed rock for a new parking pad near our driveway.
.
Why is it when there is a big job to do, the adults are all gone and us kids have to do all the work.
.
It was the same with Grandpa.
.
He would have to do the chores on the farm while his parents drank tea in the warm house.
.
That is what he said.
.
He also said that he had to walk up hill to school and then walk up hill all the way home.
.
Sometimes I wonder if everything he tells me is true.
.
Here I am moving all the rock.
This job needs to be done before it snows, so I had better finish.
I did finish moving the rock.
The parking pad is big enough to park 2 -3 cars.
It was a good job to get done.
.
Joseph and I were so tired after doing our Big Jobs that Grandma had to read us a story.
I think it was Grandma that was tired.
.
Do you remember when you had a big job?
.
Do you remember learning the alphabet?
