Week 8- Smell of Spring

When I first smell spring i remember back to when i was about 8ish or 9ish and my grandma babysat my sisters, michael and eleigh owen, and i. Well since we couldnt go outside all winter my grandma would have us clean her basement so we could play down there. But when spring came around and we could be outside then we didnt have to be cleaning. Michael and i would ride our bikes up and down the street, skateboard down the sidewalk, and just run around. It was soo good to be outside becuase we didnt have to use our "inside" voices and the whole not having to clean was pretty amazing too. I remeber this one time Michael and i were skateboarding on the sidewalk that leaded up to my grandmas door. It was kind of slanted and looked like a regualr sidewalk with the lil cracks in it and what not. Well we were going down on our bellies and it was michaels turn and when he went down he was catchin alot of speed. then a crack stopped him and he flew off and took a good size chunk out of his chin. we ran in the house and my grandma said we would have to put butterfly stiches on it. Michael was very scared of stiches and thought she meant like the needle and thread kind. So he started crying then when they brought the butterfly stich out he stopped and we laugh about it all the time now. ahh i do love spring.

Week 7- Odd habit

Well my odd habit isn’t really all that odd but whenever I brush my teeth I have to turn the water off 3 times no matter how many times I turn it on. And the water doesn’t necessarily have to be on when I’m shutting it off as long as the turny knob thingy moves to the right then I feel like its being shut off so then its ok for me to be done. Also before I can be completely finished, I have to brush my tongue 4 times. It’s kind of 8 times because I count going back and going forward as only 1. I’m not sure why I do the tongue thing but my teeth just don’t feel clean and brushed right if I don’t do it. I think I do the water thing because when I was like 9 or 10 I had a dream that the water didn’t get shut off all the way and it flooded my house and we lost everything and I almost drowned and so now I just make sure it’s really really off so that I won’t have to drowned :D
