Welcome, to another episode of
Storytime with Christina!
I actually meant to tell you guys this story a long time ago like
A long, long time ago. I actually told this story as my seventh grade
speech when I took speech class. That's how long ago it was.
This story, takes place in China
when I was a young'un
very, very young and I was living with my grandparents
and my cousin and whoever else was in the household
I think my aunt
and uncle were there too but I don't really remember cause I was really young.
I'm actually really surprised that I still remember this story at all
considering how bad my memory is. But then again, this story is pretty hard to forget
Now where was I? Oh yeah!
So my cousin was at school or daycare or wherever the heck he was, he wasn't
at home anyways
and I was home all by myself with my grandparents or aunt and uncle or
whoever at home with me that was taking care of me, because I can't just be like home
alone, I was too young
I wouldn't have been take care of my self. Anyways getting off topic again!
because I had no one else to play with, I just kinda played with these toys by
myself.
I got really bored after a while and that's when I started playing
with my cousin's toys, the toys that were
forbidden for me to play with. If he even noticed
that one thing was out of place in his room, he
would've killed me. See normally I'm a good child, and I
listen to what people say, but at that time, I was kind of like bored out of my mind,
So, I decided to break those rules
I told myself that I would make sure that nothing
was out of place. He would never know
and my grandparents would never know so they wouldn't be able to tell him.
So I very stealthily snuck
into his room, and I saw
lots and lots of toys, toys
that I have never ever seen before in my life and
I was amazed! I wanted to play
with them all! And that's when I spotted
his collection of Bionicles. His Bionicles
were neatly stacked up on a shelf, displayed
for the whole world to see. How did he expect me
to not mess with them, when they looked all grand and glamorous on that shelf,
they were practically glowing and asking me to play with them.
And so I grab all his Bionicles and I just start playing with them.
Not gently, roughly! I crush them against each other,
I threw them around everywhere! I was very violent
with those Bionicles. And of course, Bionicles being legos and all,
you can't expect them to stay together after you've crushed them against each other and like
gone into war with them. So there were pieces of Bionicle limbs just lying all over
the room
but you know, I didn't think twice about it.
I just kept on playing for hours and hours,
and when my cousin finally got home,
I was screwed. I didn't realize how much time had passed until
I heard the door open, then slam and the pitter patter of little feet.
My cousin was home, and the worst part about it?
I was still sitting on the floor, with his Bionicle bodies strewn around me.
I knew that I was doomed,
I had let my guard down...he was gonna beat me up.
Or so I thought. There's something you should know about my cousin first.
He has absolutely no muscle. I have never lost
a fight against him. He always tries to fight me, he
he tries to punch me, hurt me, but he can't.
So he resorts to his teeth instead.
now that you know that back to the story. The first thing he does,
he runs directly to his room, and I'm sitting there,
with his Bionicles all around me. He had caught me
red-handed. [Screams]
He sees me and he screams! He screams at the top of his lungs.
He screams with anger. Before my grandma or grandpa even has time to react,
he's already jumped on top of me, and he's trying to
fight me, and he's screaming, yelling, and just getting all
angry and stuff. I'm shocked. But I wasn't about to let him
beat me up. Just because he was the boy,
and I was the girl, doesn't mean he has to win.
So I fight back. I punch him in
the face and he screams with pain.
he retaliates by biting me on the leg, and I just keep on
punching him, I slap him across the face, I elbow him in the knee,
I hurt him as much as I can because I was angry
I had every right to play with his Bionicles,
just because they were his didn't mean that I couldn't play with them, he had to share
his toys. That's when my grandmother intervened. Ok, that's
quite enough! And she grabs us and splits us apart.
She reprimands my cousin first. You, you
don't need to get all angry just because she destroy your Bionicle,
it is easy to just put it back together.
You have the instructions. Put it back together. If you can do it the first time, you can do it a second time. Then she turns to me.
And you, Christina, you should not play with your cousin's toys if he
told you not to play with them, you shouldn't play with them. So we came to an agreement.
I promised to never go into his room and play with his toys again, and he
promised to never try to fight me again.
Of course, we didn't keep our promises,
Were kids! Our instinct was to fight!
Thank you for listening, and I hope
you got a good laugh out of it
