Tell a story about something interesting (anything!) that happened to you, but tell it in the form of an instruction manual (Step 1, Step 2, etc.).
- Watch “Lady and the Tramp” with your mother.
- Think of something amazing to tell your dad.
- Ask your mother to pause the movie.
- Charge down the hall at full speed.
- Crash head first into the door knob.
- Shriek in terror and pain.
- Kick and scream as your mother attempts to apply pressure to your gushing forehead.
- Somehow make it to the emergency room.
- Flail and fight against the medical staff.
- Get strapped into a papoose for your own good.
- Scream bloody murder as they stitch your head closed.
- Wonder what the hell was so amazing that you had to tell your dad.
- Wonder that question for the rest of your life.
