Oh dish, you make me laugh. I get what your saying in the being honest thing but honestly, being sent to the Principal office 3 TIMES should make you stop. Gosh, that guy is an idiot.

No, it didn't really happen to him it is a joke, someone sent it to him in an email, get it?

True story:

So, my mom went to a Borders bookstore last summer, around the time the G.I. Joe movie was out. She wanted to buy a book that was basically a prequel to the movie, and this was the best Borders in town.

However, she has a little trouble finding the book, and asks an employee for help.

"Oh, sure," he says, leading her over to a section.

"Now," he says, scanning the shelves, "let's see what we have under J..."

Obviously, G.I. Joe did not write the book about G.I. Joe, but that's apparently what this guy thought, even with the movie playing in theaters at that very time.

Even more obviously, he didn't find the book.

So what does he do next?

"Let's check under G..."

I'm dead serious.

It's one thing to think G.I. Joe is an author, but while the movie is playing in theaters?

I know; that's why I said " THAT GUY" is an idiot. Get it?

Oh I thought you meant "THAT GUY" as in the principal.

My baseball game today was awesome. I have been the regular second baseman all season but recently I had been doing bad there and I was in danger of losing that role. The next two or three games I picked myself up and played solid defense. But today, I did amazing. I was on, and I mean ON, so were my teammates. I got to the field and said, "I feel great today."

Up until the third inning, we were playing okay, not great, but alright. The pitcher on my team, Phil, walked a guy and the next kid hit it hard up the middle. An easy base hit, but it was so hard that we had a chance to get the guy at second. I was awake so I sprinted over to the bag and called for the center fielder. The CF, Jordan is also a heads up player so he made a really hard peg from only about 40 feet away from the outfield. We got the guy out and that pumped us up.

Jordan shouts, "AGH!" but in a good way, as in "I feel great!" Phil does it too and I join in. We keep doing that throughout the game. Everyone else joined in and we sounded like sheep but whatever, it pumped us up.

So later, there is a guy at second base. The hitter doinks a little pop up over the pitcher's head up the middle. I am playing deep because they have a good hitter up. I sprint in and make a diving catch to rob the guy of an infield hit.

Later, there is a guy on first. Ground ball to the left side in the hole. I can't get to it and neither can the first baseman Josh. I am able to hit it off my glove and that slows it down. Josh picks it up and I cover first base and we get the guy by half a step.

I got up to hit and we needed a base runner. I was leadoff man, we needed a run because it was a tie. I lay down an amazing bunt down the third base line. There was no way they could get me out. Except it was such a great bunt that I stood there watching it. I didn't run. It took me a second or two to get out of the box and they got me by a half a step. I was kicking myself because I knew I had a hit there.

But we got to the last inning and then Phil hasn't allowed a hit. He strikes the first two guys out and the next guy hits a come backer. No hitter. It felt great to be a part of it and to make some great plays to save the no hitter.

nice job! and is this town league or something else?

It is Babe Ruth, so we play kids in different cities and towns, but within the county. Last year I was in Little League so I only played kids from my city but this year is Babe Ruth, so we got split up and there aren't enough kids for a league in just my city (Half the kids went to Babe Ruth and half stayed in Little league. Last year there were 10 teams, now the Little League has 4 and the Babe Ruth has 3). So we play county teams.

My sister's having this volleball thing at Navy Pier over the weekend. Today, she lost her pass, so I went in with her friend, she gave me her pass, I went back out, gave it to my sister, and she got in! I felt like a secret agent! We got her a new pass for tomorrow.

Dad: "Hey, my daughter lost her pass and she needs a new one. Can you guys do that? Oh, by the way, we totally didn't sneak her in here or anything like that."

Wow, that sounds like something my mom would do. Once we went out to dinner at some restaurant. We went in separate cars because my dad came straight from work. Coming home I went back with my dad. There was a cop set up and they were just checking drivers to make sure they weren't doing anything illegal like drunk driving or drug trafficking because earlier there had been a guy killed by a drunk driver so they were taking precautions. The cop says to my dad, "Have you been drinking tonight?" My dad had a glass or two of wine but he said no. The cop let us go.

We get home and twenty minutes later my mom and sister still aren't there. So my dad calls my mom's cell phone. My mom was pulled over by the cop and she said, "Yes I have been drinking, to tell you the truth." The cop now has to pull her over and do a bunch of tests and stuff. My mom is in a hurry to get home, even though she had nothing to worry about because she only had a glass of wine. She says, "Please officer, I have a little girl in the backseat, please let me go home." Wow, now the cop has even more reason to arrest my mom.

Eventually they let her go because she did nothing wrong but how stupid can you be when you are trying to get around something through a loophole?

Do you guys remember that Andrew Jackson video I made? Well dishnetkid, you said you wanted to know my grade. I got an A- on my report. Then my teacher said she never got my video. I told her I was positive I gave it to her, she probably deleted it. So I gave it to her and she loved it and I automatically got an A+.

Cool. Good job!

Well, my sis lost her volleyball tournament in the first elimination game, but it was AMAZING TO WATCH. Some of the best VBall I've seen all year from them.

My friend John broke his pinkie finger because somebody threw a rectangle at him.

A... rectangle?
