"Ah fiddlesticks." Grandpa Jones grumbled as I tried to teach him how to use an iPod. "I can never understand these crimmeny machines" he moaned. It was a crisp, beautiful summer afternoon. We were inside his and Grammy Jones' home. I usually came over to their house, seeing as it was less chaotic then my own home. My brothers were constantly fighting, my sisters only paying attention to their punk boyfriends. And my parents on their business trip to Baltimore. Being the middle child, I didn't get much attention. So I practically lived there. That year Rufus and Tilly, my grandparent's dog and horse. Tilly, who thought herself as a dog, followed Rufus around faithfully. I smiled as I saw Tilly wag her tail limply and romp around. Now, Tilly was still a colt and Rufus being a Great Dane, they were the perfect size for one another. Little Tilly's mother, Ofila, died so Tilly was fed from a bottle by me. My grandfather sighed in a good natured way. "How 'bout we go down to Oak Creek woods and I'll tell you a story Teddy?" Grandpa said, ruffling my tawny, messy hair. I grinned. "Sure grandpa!"
"TEEDDDDDYYYYY" a voice from outside yelled. Tyler, my best friend, barreled through the door. "Tyler?!?" I said, surprised. "What are you doing here?" he just grinned at me "Haha...I came to your house and you weren't there and I wanted to talk to you after my trip was over which it is so I asked your sister Eidith and she told me 'I think that kid went to grandpa's house', while staring at this dude with piercings he had one in his tongue and it rattled against his teeth and it was awesome and I might get one of those when I get older cause they look cool, soo I asked Eddie where your grandpa lived and it was just a block away and I started running and Dan, Roy, and Cody are behind me and by the way my trip was really really awesome and I'll tell you when they get here and hi Mr.Jones" He blurted this out so quickly his words ran together sounding like "istartedrunninganddanroyandcodyarebehindmeandbythewaymytripwasreallyreallyawesome..." he let out a huge gasp "I need some water." he panted.
Sooooo? Who cares? Cause I sure don't! Now I can add Teddy to the list of nicknames I have for you!!!!!! YIPPEE
