Wonderful Weekend

           
Having someone wake you up on an early Saturday morning. Hearing that you’re going somewhere, you probably get excited.... till you find out where and then you just feel like falling back asleep. Even if you don't want to go where your parents are going they still make you go because they say you can't stay home alone, and then you ask why and they give you a whole explanation about the reasons why you can't. Also if the place you have to go to is about an hour and a half or two it gets worst then it was before. Especially if they wake you up at around seven then come back to your room and find you still lying down that makes them mad. Parents just don't like to repeat themselves it just makes them get angry at you and they start getting angry at others when it's not their fault or it's not your fault. Then we leave the house start driving near the highway and your parents forgot something so that means another ten wasted minutes back. They also need to go look for what they forgot and not have it in a certain place to grab it and get out right away which would take less time to go get. That's what makes me mad most the time when they don't think about what they're doing or what they have to do or get before they walk out the front door. Also when they and are supposed to go get that one thing they decide that they forgot something else and they end up bringing things that are not needed at all. Then when you’re on the highway you end up falling asleep because it's so early in the morning, then waking up and not knowing where you are because you haven’t been there for a while and also because you had just woken up. Or after you fall asleep your brother decides to hit you on the back, and that just frightens you and it also make you very mad and you decide to hit him back and he tells on you and you end up getting in trouble because of his fault. Getting to my cousins house to visit them at around ten or ten thirty was interesting, they were actually sitting down and they were quiet they weren't running around like usual when we come to visit. That was because they were watching TV. They saw my brother come along with this time so they decided to go outside and play football in the cold weather outside and the grass was wet and muddy so that didn't make things better. I stayed inside for about half an hour then decided to go out also in the bitter weather with my cousin. Then she decided to make a fire. Everyone came and helped but since it was windy the flame kept on blowing out on the matches and the fire. My little cousin decided to go get marshmallows and throw them in the little flame there was. I found out when you put marshmallows in the fire that they start to get puffy and then they start to burn. Then my brother decided to put a stick in the miniature flame and then put a marshmallow on it and it started to melt and make bubbles. After about fifteen minutes I decided to go back inside, because I was truly getting freezing out there. My little cousin decided to fallow along also. After about twenty minutes I decided to go back out to make my cousin not feel lonely out there by herself. I decided to stay out there for another ten minutes and then go back in. About half an hour later she came in yelling because of my brother and her brothers they found a water gun in the garage and decided to fill it up and get her wet and also gets her little sister wet. So her little sister decided that throwing rocks was going to help but it made it worst she was chasing them all around the house and around the garage and all over the place. Then her little sister also came in. Then my mom and their mom was calling them in to tell them to stop but the decided not to come in at all so then everybody just forgot about it. My aunt told my cousin to go put the fire out but she said she wasn't because her brothers and mine were going to keep on getting her wet. My brother walked in and my aunt told him and my other cousins to put it out, they did and I was surprised that they actually listened to her. They all came back in we all ate and then it was time to go back home for us. We left at around seven. My brother decided to fall asleep on the way back so I decided to bother him like he also decided to when we were going. I was poking his back and then he woke up and yelled at me so then I stopped because I didn't want to get in bigger trouble then I was earlier for hitting him back. We got home at around nine. I decided to fall asleep but I couldn't till about ten thirty or eleven, I was really tired by that time. Next morning I got woken up again to go do my chores that I didn't do the day before.

Terrifying Reptile

What would you do if you came across a huge monstrous reptile? A enormous 5 foot lizard was spotted in the city of Riverside. The lizard was wondering around a condo complex  in a neighborhood. It was the biggest reptile found in that city.

The animal control office was contacted by a resident of the city of Riverside, to save the neighborhood from the huge reptile. The animal control officer use a "catch pole" to trap the lizard. A "catch pole" is a tool used to trap animals by the neck. It looks like a stick with a loop at the end. At first the lizard was submissive but then it became aggressive.

Due to the size of the lizard officers believe it could have been someone's pet. They suppose the lizard escaped or it was left outdoors unsupervised. In my opinion I think that people shouldn’t be able to have large pets that could harm people in unexpected moments. People who have dangerous animals as pets should be fined and arrested for  owning an illegal and perilous pet.

The animal control officers are waiting for the lizard's owner to claim it. Nobody was harmed by the lizard but it could have happened, and this story could have ended tragically. Authorities should implement stricter laws regarding dangerous pets. If you are considering owning a pet make sure to stick with dogs and cats.
