In To Kill a Mockingbird, Jem wants to be a lawyer; I think when I was his age I wanted to be an assassin. I asked my friend about this and he said that it was fine and that it was "a hell of a lot better than 'garbageman' (apparently, that was all he thought of when he was a child)." Then, we started fantasizing about, if we ever split apart after high school, how an assassin and a garbageman might end up crossing paths. Eventually we decided on this: I would end up working for China's military and he'd be taking out the garbage for the white house, obviously the peak of either proffesion. China would assign me to kill the president of the United States while, meanwhile, Evon is driving his daily truckload of garbage out to the nearby plant. I would lock my sights on Mr. Pres with my sniper rifle and instintcively take the shot but, just as I pull the trigger, his truck backs into the bullet's line of fire. He had left it in neutral without pulling the handbrake and it was on a slope. Frustrated at my error, I would have to move closer, as they surely would be closing in on me and I was NOT ready to just give up on this mission. I ditch my gear bringing only a pistol, ammo, and throwing knives as I board a sleek, invisible motorbike a la Die Another Day. The humiliation of missing my target still ringing in my ears, I'm too distracted and I nearly collide with Evon, but quickly recognising him, I powerslide to a halt and backtrack to say, "Hey! Dude it's been soooo long!"
"Burt? Woah, yea I didn't recognise you there in your kick-ass ninja gear!" [editors note: ha. ha.]
"So..... how's.. garbage?"
"Good, good. Pays great but still working nine to five you know?"
"Yea man, that's rough."
"How's the.. assassining?"
"Not so great, actually. Today, they had me all over friggin Europe. I don't even know how I'm still walking."
And then Evon had to walk to Chemistry and I had P.E. :[

Haha that's funny. I used to want to be a janitor..... Yours is much cooler.
By the way, I LOVE hide and seek. I'm still really good at it.
Me too. Hide and seek is like one of my favorite games with my cousins. They love to play hide and seek and usually end up laughing our head off. I don't really know why?!?
It's best playing with a toddler. Because they will hide somewhere obvious, and if you pretend you don't see them, you can walk around and be like "where is he? I don't know where he could be.. He's such a good hider." And, at least with my cousin, he would then either giggle (loudly) or just be like "Here I am!" (while he was hiding.) He totally didn't get hide and seek until he was 4 or so. It was great.
hahaha xD Sean is soooo good at hide and seek! he hid in a cabinet once O.o but then once he couldn't find his grandma and he got all scared cus he thought she was really gone!
Oh, he is? I wanna play with him now!
And, that's soo cute, in a sad way...
