The Extremely Funny Bus Stop Story
It all started Friday morning last week. Recall how you're still half asleep when you wake up after several hours of sleeping. When I glanced at the digital clock that morning, it read 1:08, but I thought it said 6:o8. I heaved myself out of bed. It was freezing, so I fixed myself some hot chocolate. Then I got dressed, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, took the dog out, got on shoes and a coat, and ran outside.
It was so dark outside that you could barely see your hand in front of your face. I headed out to the bus stop. Then, since obviously no one was there, I lay there staring at the sky for about half an hour before I finally started to wonder where everyone was. I thought that I might have been there on a Saturday. Then I remembered back to when I was making my hot chocolate that morning and I had been staring at the clock so I made sure that I didn't scorch the chocolate. It finally registered that I had been reading times that said about 1 a.m. So I said to no one in particular, "I'm out here at 1:30 in the morning, aren't I?"
I ran back to the house and read the clock in the kitchen. The time was 2:07 a.m. I felt so silly!
I passed the time by watching The Tube, my favorite music video channel, on the couch with my dog Josey sleeping next to me until 6:30. What a big goof-up!
Ciao for Now,
-Jess
