"Jerry and Andrew decided to build a treehouse to hang out in. They gathered the materials but could not agree which tree was best. They argued about it and hurt each other's feelings.

I was staying with my grandparents for a weekend. They told me to finish getting dressed so we could leave. I refused to put my pants on so she put me in the car with no pants.

"My family and I ordered pizza one day for lunch. We were anxiously awaiting it's cheesy flavor as we prepared. When our backs were turned our cat jumped onto the table.

"One day at the zoo, I walked over to the gorilla enclosure. A large male silverback gorilla walked out from the corner. He sat in the center of the viewing area, as if posing. He glared angrily at me the entire time I was there. I felt very guilty, like I shouldn't be there looking at him." |
"Pink the Pink Gin was obtained through an evening of play. Caleb wanted to use a special claw machine, one that was known to work. He tried only one time to reach the square pink penguin.

"I recently lost a lot of weight. Despite this, my feet and legs remained swollen from edema. Every day, I had to put on a pair of compression socks. The socks helped bring the swelling down all day. At the end of the day, my legs weren't as swollen as they used to be." |
"I lost a lot of weight using healthy eating habits. Every day, I ate 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables. I piled things like broccoli up on my plate while ignoring fats. Eventually, I lost 80 pounds of fat and water. The accumulated fluids left my body in only a few months." |
"We had a huge fight this morning over the coffee. Every time I make it, Mack says I'm doing it wrong. He tells me I cook the water too long once the coffee drips in. I think it tastes better with the slightly roasted flavor. He refused to drink any of it, so I ended up drinking the entire pot." |
"I dyed my black hair with pink temporary coloring. First I bleached a large portion of my hair. Then I applied organic bright pink vegetable dye. I washed it out in the bathtub, leaving a pink ring. The dye will last about 6 weeks." |
"The last time I went to my uncle's house, we had to drive a long way. He lives so far out into the country that he still uses an outhouse.

"This morning my husband went to get dressed as he usually does. He walked into the bathroom and went into his closet. He picked out the clothing he wanted to wear, and put them on. When he walked out, he shut the closet door. The knob, however, was broken and now the door won't open." |

"My mom bought a porcelain dog for the porch. He's very realistic looking, so he tricked everyone. People walked up to the door, looked down and jumped. They thought there was adorable puppy staring up at them. They laughed when they realized it wasn't real." |
"On the last trip to the zoo, I took my 11 year old son. His favorite part was the chinese pandas. He had never seen them before, as they are rare in the United States. There were 2 of them, lying around on top of rocks behind glass. They didn't even look up at us the entire time we were there." |
"My ex husband has been calling me every day. I changed my number after he left, but somehow he got it anyway. He just called me a few minutes ago, and left a message. I'm thankful he's in another state, so the calls are all he can do. I worry about him calling me all the time." |
"When I was 13, my boyfriend's favorite color was purple. I decided purple was my favorite color too, and painted my bedroom. Every wall was violet, and I loved it very much. Then he broke up with me, and I was very sad. I rebelled by repainting my room neon green, a very ugly color." |
"I have a fear of severed heads. I developed it after witnessing the death of one of my best friends. I have no memory of the accident, but she was beheaded by a semi. I know I saw it only because others told me I did after the accident. I never regained my memory of that day." |
"I couldn't find a place to put my new computer. I finally decided to move a small brown desk into my bedroom. The desk wasn't sturdy at all, but was actually a little wobbly.

I got mad at my brother when I was three years old. I grabbed a chair and pulled it up to a pencil sharpener in his room. I methodically sharpened the pencil in the sharpener.

"When I got my brand new laptop, I was ecstatic. I had saved for months to buy it, and now I had it open in front of me. When my phone rang, I reached for it without thinking.

"I fell for the cabbage patch kid craze at an early age. I had several of the dolls, but I decided one day I was going to grow. I planted cabbage seeds in my grandma's garden.

"The last day of my relationship was a very difficult one. I had to accept that things had simply changed between us. I went through the motions of a regular day, but I was heartbroken.

"In 2014, I stopped at a sanctuary on a job call. I had to fix a computer for a monk, who made wine and fruit cake. They sold the wine and fruit cakes locally, so I purchased a cake. It was the most delicious cake I'd ever had, and I hate fruit cake. I realized that day that commercial fruit cakes are not the real thin... |
"I bought my pink phone as soon as it became available. I had wanted one for a very long time. When I heard it was out, I rushed to the store. I purchased one of the only ones they had left in stock. I paid more for the color, but it was worth it in my opinion." |
"Windell called me yesterday on my cell phone. I hadn't heard from him in 20 years, but we picked up like old friends. He talked about wrestling and his diabetes for most of the call. We decided to meet and chat about the good old days some time soon. I hung up feeling better about my hard day." |
"Yesterday, I suddenly received a text from an old boyfriend. I hadn't spoken to him since I was 12 years old. At 35, he was asking me to meet him for lunch in downtown Memphis. I told him I was unable to, as I am in a serious relationship. He left me his number in case I ever change my mind." |
"I had a swimming party at my house one summer. I invited over lots of different girls from school. They all came to the party, except one. She showed up with her parents, because they wanted to meet me. We quickly became best friends that summer." |
"I bought a red leather sofa sectional last month. I paid $500 to purchase it from an elderly gentleman over a weekend. I picked it up using my minivan, with the seats in the back removed.

"At night time, my mouth was falling open frequently. I purchased a mouth guard in the hopes it would help. In the middle of the night, I awoke with pain in my jaw. I tried changing position several times, to no avail. I finally removed the guard and gave up." |
"In the tenth grade, I was terrible at math. I refused to study, because I didn't think it would do any good. One morning I had a math test, and I did very badly on it. When the teacher handed the papers back, I was nervous. Everyone laughed at me because she x'd two problems, then wrote NO." |
"I had a lot of difficulty waking up this morning. I rolled around in bed, frustrated as a song played in my mind. It was a song by John Lennon, one that never really became popular. After listening to it in my head for an hour, I gave up and got up. As I sat at my computer, it continued to be stuck in my head for hour... |
My husky sounds like a wolf when she howls. I sat beside her and howled like a dog. She got very excited and started howling too. We sang together for a long time. It felt like a bonding experience I'll never forget. |

"I had never mowed grass before a day in my life. I walked outside, worried if I could manage it. I tried starting the mower, and began to push it around the yard. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only issue I encountered was simply that it was very hot that day." |
"I was not nervous my first day of school. I was always around other kids, so I wasn't afraid of them. I was the only kid who didn't cry when my mother left me. I sat at my desk and played with the toys. She gave me a big hug at the end of the day, and said I was pretty." |
"When I was a teenager, my mom and I were going on a shopping trip. I was really hungry, so I decided to make a snack before we left.

"I got mad at my brother one day after school. I was trying to jump on the trampoline, but he stuck his head under it. I jumped on it anyway, bouncing up and down on his head. He yelled for our mom to help him, but I didn't care. I was so tired of being bullied, it didn't matter anymore." |

"My first apartment was a run down cheap place to live. I went to the manager, and was told I could move in right away. I was in a rush, so I took her up on the offer and moved in.

"When I was driving down my street one day, I passed a pipe. Inside the pipe was a head, sitting upright. Panicking, I pulled over, out of breath and terrified. I ran out of my car and looked into the pipe, expecting the worst. Turned out it was just a large doll head that looked real." |
"I bought a cookie jar just for cookies in our home. It was a retro Beetlejuice cookie jar. We put it on the counter, and we can get a cookie every day from it. Right now it has lots of raisin cookies in it, so we can eat them. It's keeping the cookies nice and fresh." |

"Dubby's car broke down after school one day. It was called the banana boat, because it was long and yellow. We couldn't get it to start because it was so old and worn out. I ended up driving him home that day. We hung out at his house where we had our first kiss." |
"We drove to a nearby college to compete in a band tournament. It was very cold, and we were freezing sitting in our seats watching. It didn't help that we were drinking concession stand sodas.

"I ate pizza at the new place with my family. Later that night, I was watching tv when I began to feel ill. I became very sick, vomiting and staying in bed for days. It took over a week to feel better. By the time it was over, I could no longer stand the sight of pizza." |

"When I was three years old, I still used a binky. My favorite binky that I used every day said Love Bug on the front. I walked around with it in my mouth all the time. I even sucked on it at the dinner table, only taking it out to eat. I slept with my binky every single night that year." |

"Dubby was the drummer in a band, and I always went to the practices. One day, I drove him home from school when his car broke down. He sat down on his bed facing me, his long blonde hair in his eyes. He leaned in and kissed me, like it was nothing. I was surprised, but I kissed him back." |
"My grandma always wore house shoes. One day, she was working in her garden while I was playing. She saw me step on some of her flowers, and yelled at me. Next thing I knew, her shoe bounced off the back of my head. I turned to see her standing there with one shoe missing, glaring." |
