Once upon a time, wait, no! No! We are not going to start like this! Let’s try this instead! “Clears throat.” One day ago, a few days in fact, I was going to school.
     I woke up, got dressed, and then went downstairs. My mom had made a nice breakfast, scrumptious eggs with buttered toast. I proceeded to ask my mom why the food was so tasty. She responded with it being a new recipe. I was confused. How can there be a new recipe for eggs and toast? I shrugged it off and proceeded to finish my food. Next, I brushed my teeth. I then went outside, completely forgetting I had my shoes on. I went back inside, put my shoes on, and then went inside of the car.
     What happened next was something totally bizarre. I cannot explain why or how this happened. Neither do I want to know, to be honest.
     When my mom went to turn on the car, it would not start. She tried two more times, said some words I will not repeat, then we both got out of the car. We checked under the hood and found that there was a dead squirrel in it. My mom screamed, closed the hood, and then the car exploded. Luckily, she had backed away, so she was not hurt. Me on the other hand, I was mortally wounded. Kidding! Kidding! I was fine. My mom called 911 and told me to bike to school instead. Big mistake.
     I took my bike out of the garage and found that it had a flat tire. I put air into the tire and then started biking. When I reached the bridge, there was a very tight turn. My bike couldn’t take it, and I was forced to jump off and watch it fall into the ocean, gone forever. It’s okay! Don’t worry everybody, I had a helmet on! I proceeded to go into the feeble position and started laughing hysterically.
     Using my problem solving skills, I decided to walk to school instead. I was there in about 20 minutes. The problem was, I couldn’t find anyone. The place was deserted. No cars, no people. I walked around campus, checking every classroom. I didn’t know what happened. Suddenly, it hit me. Some strange sense told me to just go home. I went home, went to bed then went to sleep. I woke up an hour later, and I had the letters T S D A R Y U A in my head.

 

Today was Saturday.
