Last December, my dad's feet were so itchy that he decided to put cream on his feet. But he decided to take a nap first. When he woke up from his nap, He applied the cream to his feet. Without thinking about what he just did, dad took his first step down the stairs and fell on his butt all the way to the bottom. We heard a big bang. Victoria was upstairs in the bathroom at the time. We thought it was her that fell. But turned out to be silly dad. My mom and I had to bite our tongue from laughing. Ryan went to check on him. He left a big hole in the wall from the tumble. We were grateful it wasn't Victoria. To this day we still laugh about it.
Many years ago back in 2003, my dad took my two brothers and I to Camel Beach. Camel Beach is one of the biggest water parks in Pennsylvania. It was really hot that day, the weather man predicted thunderstorms. The four of us decided to walk all the way up this big hill to the Family Ride. A water slide where you sit in this big tube and go down the slide. It's a lot of fun. But my brother Ryan started to feel dizzy and very sweaty. That's when he took a piece of gum off the garbage can and almost put it in his mouth. My dad was madder than a hornet. He ended up taking Ryan back down to the bottom to get him some water. As soon as my brother Brendan and I were up next, the ride closed because of thunderstorms. It was a pity because we walked up this big hill in the heat just to walk back down again. More importantly, my brother Ryan ended up being okay after he got hydrated.
When my brothers and I were little kids, we decided to build a spaceship that would take us to the moon. Each night we would go into the basement and plan our trip as well as work on the cardboard spaceship. As young kids, we really thought we were going to the moon. It felt so real to us that we told our mom about it. Who questioned our imagination. My brother Brendan used real tools to put it together. Sadly we did not make it to the moon but we had a great time using our imagination. The funny part in that story was that as kids we really thought our adventure was going to actually happen.
When my brother Brendan was five, he decided to do something stupid. I guess we have to credit him for being five with no brain. Anyway he got this crazy idea that he could jump from the rocking chair all the way to the piano chair. Yeah folks, he really jumped and ended up cracking his head opened. My dad and our Uncle Lou had to put a kitchen towel over his head and rush him to the hospital. He needed a LOT of stitches. Folks don't be stupid, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME EVER!
When my brother Ryan was nine years old, his friends and him, got this crazy idea. Which was to stand on a folded table and dance. Ryan danced and then the table folded with him on top. He ended up getting a gash in his lower leg. We had to rush him to the nearest hospital in Manhattan. Ryan needed stitches and was told not to do that again. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME EVER!
I was only ten years old when I was playing outside my Aunt Bug's house. As I was having fun, a bumble bee crawled up my sleeve. It stung me in the middle of my arm. I screamed so loud that I think all the neighbors heard me. Oh my gosh it hurt so bad. I had to keep putting a wet paper towel on my arm to keep it from swelling up. If your near a bee, moral of the story is remain calm.
