Hello, its me.
Ok so yesterday really stumped me, I did NOT know what to do.One thing I love about this challenge is the spontaneous side of it. I was gonna do two things and then those fell through. Sooo on the went the thinking cap, back to square A. I have asked google abt things to do and it pulled up a list of 100 Random Acts Of Kindness for Kids. You should look it up, its kinda inspirational if you know you're still a kid. Its number 11 and I did a modified verson of it. I watsapped my Grandma Koehn and asked her to tell me about a story of her childhood or when her and Grandpa where newly married. She said that she needed a little time to think so I gave her time and told the story too me today. This challenge was for yesterday, but it got completed today.
Mom reminded her of a story and she got started, it was super interesting. She started talking," I was fifteen when my Mom died, so I would have been 18 when he married again so I was pry 19 at the time. Anyway I had some house-cleaning jobs in town, I think I worked for 3 dollars an hour. And my Dad was so particular he wouldn't let me take the car to work. So I was driving this 1950 pickup and it was a red pickup. It was Chevy( you should have heard her tone of voice) it wasn't even a ford, it was a Chevy. It had needed a paint job and so I had offered to paint it, so you can imagine that it didn't look very good at all. Anyway it was about 12 miles to Macpherson and so I started out. I was maybe 3,4,5 miles from home and the thing started smoking in there. I was freaking ( I laughed about her language there). I didn't know what was going on, it was starting to smell, then I think the pickup died. So I walked to call back home to tell Dad ,it was maybe a quarter of a mile ( to the nearest house). We had a old crank telephone, big thing, this tall and this wide. You lifted up the earpiece and held that to your ear. The mouth piece was about in the middle of the box and you had to stand there and with your mouth up to the thing. I called Dad to tell him the pickup had stalled, something was burning and he could NOT hear me and I'd have to repeat. But on a partyline, we were over twenty on our line and I don't know how many were listening and so someone who was listening kept repeating what I said. We was about at the end of the line so with all these other people listening my dad could not hear me.
So someone would say,"she said her pickup won't work,"
" well ok whats wrong with it?"
" well it was burning."
They'd tell dad, she said something burned under there. And i hated talking on that phone so terrible. If they'd all hung up it would have been fine, he could have heard me but no, they all had to hear too. He says this and she says this. I don;t know if I ever did get to work that day. Side note, that was all in her own words sooo.
She talked about other things I had never heard about like how her mother died. Picture this an 15 yr. old outdoorsy girl, I think I would make a good example, and her mom suddenly dies leaving her to cook, clean and do laundry. That poor girl. So that was that was kinda the end of that. I thot that was actually kind of cool. Like I learned all kinds of new good stuff. I know what I'm gonna do for today, it just hasn't been done so more later, Toodles
