Failure!!!!
Well I told a funny story at dinner about something that happened at school the other day, and Dad asked me to write it in our blog. I figured it couldn't hurt, as long as Eric doesn't have our blog site, which isn't likely. Anyway, our First Priority club in school is doing this thing where we get sponsors, then skip 5 meals. The money we collect is gonna be used to buy food to send to people in Haiti who lost all their food in the hurricanes this fall. I got a few sponsors, but one of my friends in me Science class didn't have very many. I decided to help her out by bugging people into sponsoring her. My first victim was her Science partner, an outrageously smart kid named Eric Klinedinst. Actually he's not really outrageously smart, but he does do well in school, and I compete with him occasionally at grades and stuff. So anyway, I'm dragging this all out.... I asked Eric to sponsor Carolyn, but he didn't want to, so I proposed a deal; if he would sponsor Carolyn, I would fail the Science quiz we were about to take. Of course Eric met this with laughter, cuz he knew I would never do something like that, and he agreed to it. Poor Eric, I was already cooking up a plan to trick him and get him to sponsor Carolyn at the same time.... When I took my paper up I secretly asked Mr. Thompson (science teacher!) to put a false failing grade on my paper, but put my real grade in the gradebook. I wasn't actually sure if he would do that, so I was extremely excited and all-around happy when I got my quiz back the next day and it had a 44% on it. When I gave it to Eric he was shocked. I think his words were something around, "Nuh-uh! No you didn't. I can't believe you did that!" Because of his nice little outburst people knew something was up, and word got around that Ariel failed a quiz so Eric would sponsor Carolyn. It was pretty hilarious to watch everyone buzzing about it, and to see my paper being passed around without anyone noticing that the answers marked wrong on my paper were the same ones marked right on theirs. Yeah, it was pretty funny. The best part was the next day Eric brought in $10 to sponsr Carolyn with instead of the original $5, cuz he "felt so bad for making me fail." I know that sounds inda nice of him, and it was kinda nice, and kinda shocking to, cuz Eric's not exactly the type of person to do nice things. So that was pretty much it. Oh, and Mom's making me tell him the truth next week, but all the food will have been bought and sent by then, so I guess it's ok. And there's my funny little story!! Be sure to comment back with your own stories. Heh.
