here's the story...

Mom: There’s a big sale at the sports store!

Tracey: Oh cool, I don’t know what I’d buy though.

Mom: Haven’t you wanted to try something new?

Tracey: Actually I’ve always wanted to try rock climbing, maybe I’ll buy the harnesses!

Mom: Rock CLIMBING?! How Boring!

         What you really want to do is Rock WALKING.

         Where you walk (pause) on (pause) rocks!

Tracey: What?!

Mom: And you can look under the rocks to find other rocks and stuff!!

Tracey: HOW IS THAT MORE EXCITING THAN ROCK CLIMBING?!

(For Alissa, who still finds “nyan cat” funny, and my very tolerant classmates)

Rachel: Are you guys coming to play laser tag for my birthday?

Kylie: Ya, of course

Tracey: There’s a blacklight so remember not to wear white or you’ll glow in the dark

Jesse: Well, I’ll just wear whatever doesn’t glow

Rachel: so…all black?!

Jesse: Ya, what can I wear that’s all black?

Kylie: A Tuxedo!

Jesse: OK! I’ll wear one for your birthday!

Rachel: Aw, so sweet!

Jesse: Renting one can’t be too expensive

Tracey: Ya but they’ll probably charge you a ton for the cleaning.

Jesse: Why?!

Tracey: …to get out the lasers?!

*eyes rolling all around*
