Where is Moscow?
I was sitting in the gym on the top row of bleachers. I looked
down to see one of those sock hats that someone either ditched or forgot laying a few levels below me. I saw that it had a
maple leaf on it. "Oh, Canada!" I thought to myself. So when the bell rung, I picked it up and stuffed in my pocket. I found
out then that it said "Molson" as in the beer. So, I was in the van on my way home, and I asked my mom what Molson was, and
she told me. Then of course, when asked why, I had to tell what happened. I told her how happy I was at first even with my
glasses on that I saw a hat that had a maple leaf on it that said "Moscow." Then I got depressed at it being "Molson." So
that was obviously way confusing. She asked what the big deal with Moscow was and I said, "Because it's in Canada." And she
said "It's in Russia." I went blank until I realized that, once again, I mixed up Moscow and Montreal.

I'm Eating What!?
(note: This is the exact story from the day after it happened.
I didn't change a thing. I just copied and pasted from where I had it saved.)
Yesterday morning, before I got my breakfast (at lunch time)
I was looking in the pantry and found a tin with the M&M dudes on it. I opened it and it had some cookies in it. So, I
looked at them, picked one up. It looked like the British cookies my mom gets sometime. So, I took one out and ate it. It
tasted sort of lemony like the British cookies usually do. A little while ago, I was brought some tea, and I thought to myself,
"Those cookies would go great with tea!" So I followed my mom out and said, "Hey, I want to ask you something.." And got the
tin out of the pantry and layed them on the table so I could do something. My mom turned around, saw it on the table and said,
"What are you doing with the dog's cookies?" I just stood there.

There's No Water!!!
I went outside a few years ago during a bad drought. Before
doing anything else, I decided to water my maple tree. It was just a baby and it looked pretty sad being dry and all. So I
turned the water on the hose on and nothing came out. I got really confused, but then came to the conclusion that someone
must be using the washing machine or something inside because it affects the water outside. So, I went inside to ask and my
mom said that she just used the hose and it was working fine. So I kept insisting that there was something seriously wrong
with the hose. So she follwed me outside where I turned the water back on and showed that there was no water. She took it
from me and squeezed the handle.

VCR Panic
We had just gotten a new VCR from someone else. It had it's
moments where it would turn off by itself or whatever, but it didnt happen too often. Basically, it was a piece of crap, but
we needed one in the other room and it was free. Something was coming on that I wanted to tape and right before the show started
I was reminded of how to use the VCR. I grabbed my tape and ran out to the other room. I hit record and just as luck goes,
nothing happened. I started freaking out because the show was going to start in like 30 seconds. I called for help. My mom
came out and the whole time I was panicking because the credits were rolling already. I looked down beside me and said, "Wait....
here's the tape." The VCR was empty.

You Need To Count In Math
When I was in 6th grade, we were checking our math homework.
We had to switch with someone else in the room. So after we were done checking, we told the grades of the papers to the teacher
when she said the person's name. When my name was called, the person who had my paper was saying something about it being
confusing. They took the paper up to the teacher and the teacher looked at me like I was nuts. The assignment was like 1-50
odd or evens or whatever. I did half like that, then did the rest normal. I told her that what happened was that I got up
to get a drink and I must have forgotten what I was doing. Of course the teacher *had* to ask what I was drinking.... Which
was soda if anyone's wondering!!! I was 11!

It Really Glows!!!
Okay, today (11/24/03) I was in the cafeteria with Kendra and
Lucas. We were talking about something that I don't even know what, and I said, "Hey, my butt glows in the dark!" a bit too
loudly. The room got like 50% quieter and they all looked at me. I had never been so loud before. People were smiling and
looking like I was a total basket case. The people at the next table over are usually the ones who say random things loud
to get attention, and one guy looked at me and smiled like "That was awesome!" Lucas was teasing me saying that's a great
way to meet someone. That's not the way I'd choose to do it.

I'll Have A Beer, Please
I was at the Outback and I wanted to get the ribs, but I wasn't
that hungry. I asked if there was a smaller size right as I opened the menu. The last word I saw was "beer." I asked if there
was a small beer. Then I couldn't get the word "ribs" out! I kept asking about beer.

Where Is JP?
In my landcaping class, 5th period, I'm usually zoned out in
what I'm doing and/or my surroundings. Well I got too caught up in nothingness and saw Mr. Grantham (one of the teachers;
don't know why he's there, Mr. Canterbury is the teacher) move forward right beside me. I thought he was on the other side
of the room and started freaking out! I mean, I almost had a heart attack. Then I noticed a few minutes later that the bell
was getting ready to ring. My friend JP still had his stuff out and his paper didn't have his name on it yet. I saw him putting
his coat on and all so I thought he was out in the shop. I put his name on his paper for him and put his stuff away and was
getting ready to put more of his stuff away for him, when I heard him say something. Turns out he was on the other side of
the room sitting with someone the whole time. I was like, "JP!! I thoguth you were in the shop!!!!" And the whole class was
laughing at me. I told him how I put his stuff away for him and all he said was, "Well thank you!" With this big grin on his
face.

"1 + 1 = 2"
I walked into Mrs. Grant's class after school. She teaches
French. Well, there were these math problems on the board for some reason. Like "1.2 + 6 = 8." Well, I knew this was wrong
so I wrote "7.2" and circled it.. I went on to the others which were subtraction, multiplication, etc... All had decimal numbers.
Then, Heather came up and was like , "No, that IS 8," and I'm like no... and explain why it wasn't. I didn't get how she saw
that. Then a bit later she started circling all the 1st numbers and the decimal. Then it hit me... they WERE'NT decimals at
all. It was the number for the problem! It was actually "1.) 2+6 = 8" and so on... She was like "Please tell me you saw that!!!!"

Piano -
Today, January 14th of 2005, I did something
that just amazed me. I have no common sense, as I'm quite sure you can tell by now. Well, today we had our 5th
and 6th period exams at school. My 6th period is a Folk Music class where they teach
us how to play the guitar. Today we just had a short written test. Our teacher wasn't there today so the piano teacher gave
it to us. She said we could play the keyboards as long as we had the headphones on so it didn't get too noisey in there. So
my friend, Tiffany, and I went to some keyboards facing each other and started to play. We're playing around with the different
sounds and beats and all. She says. "Kriket, check this out!" and leans across and plays something on my keyboard. Well this
astonishes me. I had no idea how I was hearing this. I kept asking her, "How did you do that?!"
but she just looked at me like I was a complete fool. I kept asking her and she said, "Kriket, you're headphones are plugged
in and I'm playing it on your keyboard." I Still didn't understand how something that she was playing was coming
out on my end. I figured that since she was playing it, she should be the one hearing it. So I took off
my headphones to see if she unplugged them - no. And the music stopped. She kept explaining it to me and then finally
I understood. How stupid!!! There's not even a word to describe how stupid that was!!

The other day there was a huge snow storm. I was terrified
to drive in it because the roads around here are horrible, being as the state doesn't care about them and just leaves them
a mess. So my mom drove me to and from work. While I was at work, she had shoveled out the driveway. When we got home, I noticed
under my car was bare. I said, "What did you do? Move my car and shovel under it?" And she said, "Um... I don't think it snowed
under your car..." Then it hit me! I was just like, "Oh... I guess not..." Woo, sometimes I amaze myself.
