Sheena's story
|
Last summer I (14 at the time) went on the yearly camping trip with my sister maddy(10), mom, and moms friend hedy and her daughter flynnie(9). Flynnie and I always had to use the outhouse at the same time, so we decided to call ourselves "bathroom buddies". One day after dinner I decided I was going to drink all the water in my water bottle. This normally wouldn't be a big deal, but my stomach was already full! So Flynnie and I made several trips to the outhouse that night. One time we took our flashlights and made our trip to the closest one. I got into the stall, and saw a little mouse on the ground. I screamed and ran out, and Flynnie screamed and ran out of hers, hearing my scream. This is when I realized I truly am a girl. We decided we couldn't use that bathroom! We walked back to camp to tell the rest we were going to go to the far bathroom. So we went to the far bathroom, laughing all the way, and it luckily had no little critters in it!
Two years before this, we all had gone to the same campground, but with my friend Courtney too. We were sitting around the campfire, and were trying to think of songs to sing. Somehow Flynnie thought of a song. She had made it up on the spot, and it was called "I'm Alive". Flynnie would sing each line at the top of her lungs, while we other 3 kids echoed her at the top of our lungs. This is how it went:
Yes I'm Alive! Because of her! Because of her! If she didn't have me! I wouldn't be here! And I wouldn't be here! Singin' this wierd ol' song!
I'm sure our neighbors loved it!
