hello,
My friend was feeling down, so I thought I would cheer him up with some tomfoolery. Normally this does the trick.
So I went to his house and began to jump about, exclaiming "NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR TEARS, NOW IS THE TIME FOR SMILING AND LAUGHING AND GIGGLING AND SUCH!!!!"
I got pretty winded . . . and my friend was still very morose.
I bade him come outside with me. He did. He DID!!!
I got on top of the roof, via a large pile of bricks. I bade him look upon me, and he did.
I intended to make him smile and laugh . . . once and for ALL!!!
I backed up to the chimney on the roof, ran as fast as I could, got my foot caught on an errant piece of tile, and fell flat on my face. Although I had lost a tooth, and my face was pretty well bashed apart, my resolve was strong.
So, I again backed up, ran as fast as I could, leaped off the roof, did two back flips, and landed face first into the pile of bricks.
I no longer look like myself . . . as my face was pretty well bashed apart. HOWEVER, my friend hasn't stopped smiling since : )
~ your truly .
