Lessons in Lifespaghetti7

All my friends laugh at my weird stories and say I should write them down before I forget them since I've done a lot of things no one else has. This is a list of things that are all amazingly possible for a stupid girl with silly friends and two imaginative cousins, along with some sage advice:

1. Eating spaghetti through a straw is one of the fastest ways to choke.

2. It is just barely possible for two 100lbs beings to cross the top of a seven foot tall, thirty foot long hedge and survived without falling in.

3. It IS possible for a two yearold beagle to pull a 100pound girl on rollerblades all the way inside a dense hedge using only a leash, his traction on pavement, and his will to get a tennis ball that was cleverly thrown into the hedge in the first place.

4. Cats actually can swim.

5. Beagles chasing cats into swimming pools can't.

6. Beagles like the taste of candle wax.

7. Beagles and windows should not be used in the same sentance.

8. Despite some parent's beliefs- beagles are very good at catching small birds when angry.

9. Mascara only makes a good 'Ninja Mask' until you want to get it off.

10. Carpets don't like Cheetos.

11. TV screens are actually more durable than some of the bones in the average human hand.

12. Reallife teachers really do jump the same way the cartoon ones do when tacs are placed on their chairs.

13. Teachers don't like tacs.

14. One tac and a bad track record is more than enough to get an 8 yearold suspended.

15. Chewed up paper and eraser fragments work 10x better than spit balls when blown through straws.

16. Teachers don't like chewed up paper and erasers either.

17. Rulers, erasers, and a freshly waxed floor in a narrow hallway make for a really sweet ruler hockey game. (at least it beats class now doesn't it?)

18. School bathroom soap mixed with water works a lot better than the silly soap water that comes with bubble blowers at the dollar store.

19. Teachers don't like bubbles.

20. Digging up the 'mummified chickens' from the grade 7's Egypt unit is not a smart idea.

21. Leave a yearold mummified chicken in a principles office for 3 days makes a big impact- even when you don't take it out of it's box.

22. Teachers don't like mummified chickens.

23. Food colouring stain
