Stop it lockinsfeild, I’ll feed you in a minute. She was the most impatient heifer that I ever seen when it came to eating. There are eight other heifers in the lot with her and all of except for her and a few others came in the gain way of the barn so I placed a cattle panel in the middle of it to keep them off of me while I get there feed. The place where I feed them is an old wooden feeder with two cattle panels put in “V” shape to feed hay out of. Out of the lot of heifers, ol’ lockinsfeild , I would have to say was the best looking one of the bunch.

“Seth, don’t stay up too late” my mom said to me. I told her that I wouldn’t, but I got to watching a scary movie on the Sci-Fi channel and stayed up till I got tired, about 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. That was too late but my mom didn’t need to know that. The next morning I wake up the smell of bacon frying and my bellyaching. I heard pappy say, “Seth you need to get up and eat.” I told him I “can’t, my belly is killing me”. “Ok, don’t ask of something later” he said back to me.

When I was a young boy driving totally terrified me. Then one day my dad ask me to drive his truck from the landfill, that is where he at the time. I knew he liked his ’99 Chevy S-10 ZR-2, and I didn’t want to wreck the newest automobile he had ever had.

The story is called “Us and Them” by David Sedaris. The story is takes place in North Carolina, the author and his family moved a lot. They are originally from the state of New York. The house the author lives in is rented. He hears of a family that does not own a TV. That sparks his interests, so he watches from across the street during the day, and then at night he sneaks up to the window and watches. He is a very nosey boy it seems like. The family he watches is the Tomkeys. Towards the beginning of October they start going to the lake on the weekends, and the said this after they start going away “I felt like my favorite show had been canceled.” It seems that the author doesn’t do much either. The day after Halloween the Tomkeys show up at the author’s door trick or treating, they are a little late. They spent all of their time at the lake, they knew that it was Halloween because they left candy for others to get. There wasn’t any left, so the author’s mother told him and is sisters to give some of their candy to them. The author did, but his did not. After that, the author started hating the Tomkeys. This story got interesting and funny in places.


The story is called “Mick Jagger wants me” by Susan Jane Gilman. This story tells of two girls that linger out in front of a recording studio waiting to see the Rolling Stones. This story takes place over several weeks, so on nights that they didn’t have school they would attend wild parties. At these parties they would drink, smoke, and make out with everyone. One day, after staying up all night, they were out in front of the studio and see Keith Richards come out with his little boy. Then one of the girls gets to thinking about what they look like out there on that sidewalk, then decides to go home. She wanted to meet Mick Jagger at dinner party or some kind of sophisticated event, not on a sidewalk looking like a bum.
