One time as I was sitting in our yard and looking at the street I noticed a neighborhood boy who was coming back from shopping. Given how our yard was above the street level he had not noticed me. As he got closer he suddenly unzipped his pants and without losing his stride began peeing as he continued walking. I waited until he was right under me before I started laughing at the top of my lungs. Clearly startled he looked around trying to find the source of laughter and as he did this his pee stream splashed in various directions. When he finally spotted me he calmed down, laughed and said, "I thought it was a grown adult laughing." The fact that I was a teenager seemed to make his indecent exposure and public urination justified.

The next morning, I woke up at 5 a.m. and ravenously feasted on a cold Quarter Pounder with cheese and limp French fries that had been left by my beds...

On the other hand her knowledge of medical jargon could make her words seem foreign to Kurt. “He’s sustained two injuries. The first one was right on impact, his brain was shaken around pretty badly. It might have even rotated and perhaps nerve fibers were stretched and veins and arteries might have torn too. The second one is an open wound where the skull broke. The brain is exposed in that area. He was probably hit by some kind of sharp object during the collision.” Stacey unsuccessfully tried to disguise a horrifying yelp that she let out. “It's possible the area around the wound is undamaged. He might be facing long-term disabilities. He’s lost a lot of blood and his blood pressure has really dropped from the trauma. He’s really weakened by the blood loss. Plus there’s the loss of oxygen to the brain. The damage may be catastrophic. And then there’s infection…” “When w...
