My best friend and I were raking leaves in my neighbor's front yard. Dorothy's mom had gone for a bike ride. It was a little chilly outside and the leaves were yellow, orange, and red. Then Brenda, Dorthy's mom, came from around the corner of the street walking with her bike. At first I didn't see anything wrong with her or her bike. Then she said "Hey guys!" Look at this!" She held up her blood covered hand.
"Eww! Nasty!" Me and Dorothy both screamed. I thought it was one of those fake Halloween costume things. "That is SO not real!"
"Yes it is!" Brenda said smiling.
"Then how come it's not dripping?"
"It's all dried!" She was talking in a voice that was dripping with laughter, not blood. She managed to shake of a drop. It took her a long time to shake it off because it did look really dry.
"How did it happen?!" we both asked.
"I was turning and ran into a wall!"
Now isn't that crazy?! She runs into a wall of her bike, gets a dried up, bloody hand, shakes off a rubbery looking drop of blood, and is still laughing about it! She said it didn't even hurt because it went numb! I am never going to rake leaves on a chilly November day for those neighbors again, after Brenda had gone for a bike ride! Unless they give me a lot of money for it!
The reason this story has stuck with me since, I don't know... 4th grade? is because it was crazy and stupid and I never thought something like that would ever happen! But it sounds like Brenda to always keep laughing!
