You Gotta Love Them Employees!

Here’s another hilarious TRUE story told by my sister. One day when she and my mom were at Staples, there was this guy named Dwain who worked there who was acting all depressed and bored. Another employee named John walks up to him and says, “I see you’re all down in the dumps, Dwainy boy. Go dump the garbage for me.” He said as he handed him a trashcan. “Here ya go, dumpy boy.” So Dwain walks out to the dumpster and throws out the garbage, trashcan and all! He walks back in and John says, “Since you’re so familiar with garbage, go throw out this can for me.” And he gave Dwain a coke can. So he throws it away, and when he comes back, John looks out at the dumpster and exclaims, “You threw out the whole trashcan?! You can go get it later, but just make sure you do it before the trash truck comes.” Then he walks away. My mom and sister left the store, but a little while after, my mom realized she forgot to get something there, so they went back to Staples, and Dwain was on his cell phone. This is the summary of how the phone conversation went; the story my sis heard Dwain telling his friend: He was really depressed, and then the Assistant Manager walks up to him. Dwain knew he was behind him, but he didn’t want him to know. So he acted all happy, and said to his customer in an overly-enthusiastic voice, “How may I help you? I’ll do anything for you, Ma’am.” The old lady says to him, “I just need you to check this out.” So he checked her item out really quick and she left. Then he turns around and says to the Assistant Manager, “I did not know you were behind me! It is such a surprise. Do you need anything, sir?” The Assistant Manager replies, “Two water bottles.” “Chip-chip!” Says Dwain happily. “Sure, I’ll take a bag of chips.” Says the Assistant Manager. “Chip-chip!” Says Dwain again. “I don’t need any more chips, thank you.” Assistant Manager says. “Chip-chip!” Says Dwain. “I DON’T.NEED.ANY.MORE.CHIPS!” Exclaims The Assistant Manager. “Tally-ho!” Says Dwain. “Oh yes, do all things on this list for me.” He says to Dwain as he hands him a list. So Dwain does all the things, then he finally remembers that he was supposed to get the trashcan out of the dumpster. But as he looked out the back window, he saw the garbage truck driving away! But just then he happened to spot a pickup truck driving away that had a trashcan in the back that said, “Staples” on it. “Oh no…” Dwain said. So he ran out to the parking lot, got in his truck, and started the engine, then turned his music up really loud and honked his horn. After he drives around like crazy, he stops his truck and walks up to the truck driver’s window. The driver rolls down his window… and it was the Manager!!! He says annoyedly to Dwain, “I’m taking the trashcan to be shined, Dwain! Now get back to work!” Dwain says to himself, “I see this is going to be another depressing 3hours of work.” I don’t know if what Dwain said was true, but it sure is funny!

A few days later, the children discovered a well nearby, hidden by large bushes. That made things much easier for them, since before they had to lug their water all the way from the creek that was deep in the woods, and then boil it to make it safe for drinking. And Justace began giving Rylen and Wendol violin lessons. Even though Wendol was rather young, and Rylen wasn’t really the musical type, he knew they could both learn. During the rest of the week, time crept by at a calm pace; and things seemed to be going quite well. Then one day…“Good mornin’ Rylen, Wendol.” Said Justace. “Did you all sleep well?” “Good morning, Justace.” Wendol said. “I already did my chores, and now I’m hungry!” “So am I. What’s for breakfast?” Justace asked Rylen. “Yer gonna have to go catch some. There’s no food left here.” She told him. “Okay. Say, Wendol… you ever been hunting?” He asked. Wendol shook his head. “Well, how about you come with me.” “All right Justace.” Wendol said. So Justace grabbed his rifle and headed off to the woods with the little boy close behind him. “Now remember, you have to be very, very quiet.” Justace whispered to him. Wendol nodded. They tiptoed through the trees for a bit, and before long, they spotted a rabbit. Justace carefully aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. “Yes!” Justace exclaimed happily as he ran to fetch the lifeless animal. “Got ‘im on my first try.” Wendol however, was shaken by the loud bang of the rifle. He suddenly had a flashback of what had just happened, and then his subconscious memory replayed the terrible scene of his mother getting shot as she tried to protect him. Over and over, he saw in his mind the evil old man pointing his revolver at him, and his mother screaming as she dove in between him and the man. Like a horrific nightmare, he relived the moment when he first realized his mother had been killed. These memories had been long forgotten by Wendol, because he was so young at the time; but the shock of hearing a gunshot again brought it all back to him.

First of all, I am sooo sorry it took forever and ever to write another page of this... since it was summer, and I was totally stuck (for some reason it's easier for me to write about actionish stuff than normal stuff) I kinda took a break and never got around to completely finishing this page. (I'm absolutely pathetic, I know.) I would like to note that all the story pages I have posted, and all the ones I will continue to post, are the first drafts. There are definitely some changes that will be made in the end. But until then, I hope you will enjoy my feeble efforts at writing this little tale. :)



With all the stress and excitement of the past few days, the children enjoyed a refreshingly calm day. They spent most of the day outside exploring. Wendol busied himself with making a collection of pretty rocks and Rylen sat and drew in the dirt with a stick. She was just putting the finishing touches on her stick people, when suddenly, something small and green came flying out of nowhere and landed on her lap. She shrieked and jumped up in surprise. Justace, who had been sitting beside her, burst out laughing. “It’s only a frog!” He informed her. Rylen joined in his laughter. “That varmint just about plum scared the livin’ daylights outta me!” Wendol came running. “A frog? Where? I want to catch it!” He exclaimed. The frog, however, didn’t fancy this idea, and quickly hopped away. It was quite amusing to watch Wendol running and tripping along after it. “Wait up, Wendol!” Rylen called as she ran after him to help catch the speedy little frog. “I have a family at last.” Justace thought to himself. “…And what a wonderful family it is.” A smile spread across his face as he ran to join in on the chase. After running for a while though, he became puzzled. Rylen and Wendol were nowhere to be found. “Hello? Guys?” He called. “Where are you?” No reply. He searched just about every place he could think of, but still couldn’t find them. He was just about ready to give up, when he heard muffled giggling from above. He quickly looked up towards the direction of the sound, and there, sitting atop a large tree branch were Rylen and Wendol. “How’s it goin’ down there, Just?” Rylen called. “We were hiding from you!” Wendol said happily. Justace chuckled. “I can see that.” He said. “How did you get up there?” “Wylen helped me.” Wendol replied. “Come sit up here with us!” “Okay, here I come!” Justace said. But try as he might, he just couldn’t make it up the tree. Rylen burst out laughing. “I finally found something I can do that you can’t!” She said amusedly. Justace just smiled and shook his head.

Explanation

You may be wondering why I'm always raving about something or another in this blog... expressing my anger about various things. Well, last night at a teen rally I went to, the preacher said some things that explain it very well. When David heard Goliath mocking God, he was like, "Am I the only one hearing this? Did you hear what he just said?! Is there not a cause?" When we hear something wrong, we need to take a stand, even if no one else is. You know the saying... if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

The Best Feeling Ever!

As most of you know, there is a boy who I call my older brother, that my parents were going to adopt years ago. Well, the other day I found out that he is saved! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!! I consider him my family, ya know? It would have been a terrible thing for me if he would have died unsaved. I had been hoping and praying with all my heart that he was saved. And now ahh, the joy that is in my heart knowing I'll get to spend eternity with him! I can't imagine a happier moment.
