Talk To The Guys By The Fire example essay topic

When I Was A Youngster... Written and Experienced By: Nick Lemmerhart 7th hour Well I don't really remember much of my childhood. But here is one story that I do remember. This was when I was about four of five. I was at my dad's house for his birthday one weekend. That was also his birthday and memorial weekend too.

That means that he will be having a lot of people over to party all night. He lives on a lake so when he has parties all his friends bring over there jet skies and boats, but I couldn't drive them cause I was too little. It was still fun getting rides on them though. My dad also had a huge pull-barn. It was about as big as the cafeteria.

That's where everyone usually hangs out but not a lot of people were in there today. They were all out on the lake, playing volleyball, and sitting by the fire. It was getting pretty late into the night and the party started to calm down a little. A few people were still talking but the fire and also few people in the pull-barn. I decided to go talk to the guys by the fire. The cool thing about my dad's friends is that they don't talk to me as a little kid.

They talked to me like I was the same age as them. That's probably why I never had trouble with speech. After a while I got bored and I started walking into the pull-barn. All of a sudden a car came flying down the driveway and slammed on its breaks! They had a canoe on top of their car. I guess they forgot to tie it down tight cause as soon as they hit there breaks the canoe went flying across the yard and came within inches from my dads house.

I could tell the driver was pretty messed up cause of the way he was driving and the way he was walking after he got out of the car. My Dad heard the accident and came running to see what happen. When he sees what the guy did he got really mad and started cussing him out and everything. It was crazy I have never seen my dad that mad in my life. But he wasn't mad enough to hit him in front of me. So he just yelled and told me to left.

After everything was cooled down I went and talked to my dad, I asked him why that guy had a canoe on top of his car. He said you don't know, we always go canoeing, oh that's right you always go to grandmas when we go so you never knew we went. Well you know you are going with this time right. I was like really I have always wanted to go canoeing. So needless to say I didn't sleep that night. I laid by the fire all night and just thought about how fun it is going to be tomorrow.

Finally my dad got up, so I hurried and went into the front door so he wouldn't know that I stayed out by the fire. After everyone got up my dad started to make breakfast on the fire. He was making eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes. He made enough food for all of us but some how 20 of us ate it all. After we got done eating everyone started showing up for the canoeing trip. There were so many people there.

I was thinking man if this gets cancelled everyone is going to be mad because so many people are looking forward to it. But the cool thing if it gets cancelled we are doing it next weekend. All of a sudden it started to rain. We all ran in the pull-barn to get out of it and try to wait the rain. It didn't stop.

It rained all day. So my dad finally called it off till next weekend. Well it was not how I planned it but it was still a lot of fun, until the real thing next weekend.
