I can’t believe I said yes.
4 words now strike fear into my pounding hearts. Considered separately, the four words are innocuous and do not evoke any emotions. However, in combination, they are lethal..
Especially when Phil says them.
These four words are, and I quote Phil, "Wanna see something cool?"
Say "NO!" For the love of GOD, say "No".
I made the mistake of saying yes. I was at Phil’s house with Matt, and we were working on a report. By "working on a report", I mean we were sitting in his living room gossiping and complaining about teachers. That’s when Phil said the words.
"Wanna see something cool?"
I said yes. The plan was, Phil was going to shake the bottle of ginger ale that was lying on the table. He was going to give it one good shake, then quickly fling the cap off, and the cap was supposed to shoot out like a bullet.
He got ginger ale on his ceiling. He got ginger ale on his ceiling.
No, Phil, I don’t want to see something cool.
The Past Stranger Than Fictions
Why Not? I'm nice, really!
