Happy St. Patty's Day!
We will be celebrating here in the Pratt Household with Corned Beef and Cabbage, Blueberry Shine and perhaps another Shamrock Shake. Although, Luke (or should I say Luck) here has already had his for 2013. :-)
Also, I am letting Miss Lexi take over my blog today. She said she has a story to tell and it's not fair that Grandpa always gets a spot on Holidays. Don't say I didn't warn you. She is a chip off the old block. And when I mean OLD BLOCK I do mean THE MAN and his genetics to be specific.
Bottle Flies
Mom, or Mitra to you guys, told me I could take over her blog
for a little bit. I am Lexi but most of the time when I’m in the virtual world I
am often referred to as eragonandme. I thought you guys would like to read
about my way of messing with my parents.
So let me give you a bit of back ground.
About two summers ago our house was filled with flies. I hated them and have
ever since. They buzz around your head and crawl all over your food (not
mentioning what else they do). So to get revenge on those stupid bugs I trap
them in bottles and leave them. Before you go getting any bad ideas about me, I
personally think they deserve it. I mean they have wings! Why can’t they get
their own darn food!? ANYWAY… so even though it’s still winter-ish we are
already dealing with those little buggers. Mom noticed and told me to get rid
of them because friends of theirs where coming over. So I flushed the flies and
instead of putting the bottles back on the shelf I snuck it into my room where
I tore up some paper and wrote: I normally keep flies prisoner in here but mom
told me to get rid of them. So I made fake ones. And then I drew little bugs
beside the words. Mom almost died laughing when she found my bottle.
I’m hoping to become a writer on her
blog. At least monthly. My goal is to amuse those out there with funny little
stories or perhaps writing out of my imagination. I write from animal’s
perspectives often so you may hear a little about Patti, Eragon, or Forrest
(our Pets) or I may just write from any other animal’s opinion. Sometimes I
might write more than one story or I might just write something small due to
other things (homework or something). I do take suggestions and I love
feedback! Give me your opinion! I hope to one day become a famous writer, but
so far I haven’t been able to finish a book due to writers block or boredom of
the storyline. But maybe one day I’ll actually be able to finish one and make
millions! Not likely. But anyway, enjoy! ;-)
I can imagine that you'll become a great storyteller and look forward to your monthly post. Thank your mum for allowing you to take over her blog for a short time.
ReplyDeleteHi Lexi! I am absolutely sure that you'll make it as a writer some day. I love your story today and I'll certainly be back for more. Do you talk to your Grandpa about writing stories? I used to talk to mine and when I write stories for my blog today I try to remember what he told me. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSoooo you get flies over there, eh? We have giant, noisy, interfering, maggot dropping in the blink of an eye buggers over here!!! And I figure I can use that word cos you have:):) I think it would've been REALLY funny if that bottle had somehow found it's way onto the DINNER TABLE....but I'm your mother's evil friend, so you shouldn't take any notice of me. But always take notice of your mother, 'cos she's VERY clever & creative....& it looks to me like you're taking after her & her Dad as well:):) Keep writing...& I'm sure you'll end up being exactly what you want to be when you have the chance to be that:):) See you next month!
ReplyDeleteWell Hello! I look forward to reading your stories.. I used to write when I was younger also.. I nearly wrote a book at high school, but I burnt it later... we all need to just try and see what happens!!
ReplyDeleteHey Lexi - eragonandme - keep on writing. This is fun! So pleased to meet you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lexi! It was fun to hear from you & I would certainly like a monthly update. I'd love to hear real life stories about you and your friends, what your day to day life is like etc. Remember a lot of your mum's readers are from other countries so things that go on there seem exotic to us - like the types of animals you get to see and your crazy freezing weather - so snowy adventures are always good too!
ReplyDeleteHey Lexi, so glad your Mum gave up her blog for the day for you - I have a son at uni who is studying to become a writer as well, and to be honest, there is no way known in this world that I would let him near my blog - he would do very nasty, nasty things to it... So possibly this makes your mum slightly more generous than me - I suggest yuu take ful advantage of this power - we would love to hear all your stories (and maybe more stories about you Mum as well, just for a laugh...)

Thank you for sharing your story Lexi, and thank you for bringing a smile to my cold Monday morning face. I look forward to being able to say "I read Lexi's first blogpost, before fame and fortune arrived"
ReplyDeleteLexi, I love your stories. You are well on your way to becoming the storyteller of your dreams. By the way, if the bottle works, bring one up here. I'll be waiting for your next blog story.
ReplyDeleteHi Lexi you're a chip off the old block alright, and a great storyteller too. Hope you get to beat the boredom or writers block one day and sell a blockbuster. Your Mom can giver up her job and SCRAP all day long!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lexi.....loved the story and hope you'll write some more!

This was such a wonderful story and I love your mischievous sense of humor! Can't wait to read your next post!!
ReplyDeleteYou can't imagine you'll be great?? I KNOW you will! Your story rocks, your writing is great & put out more jars!
ReplyDeleteLexi, I hate flies too. Especially in the house. We mostly get ladybugs. Don't be fooled by the hype, and pretty little images on toddler clothing, they still have wings and fly around your head. Yuck! I look forward to reading your stories!
