EXT. BACKYARD - AFTERNOON (Out-of-Order Challenge

My turn!

This morning, I was playing Mario against my little brother and I totally blew him up like a million times and he still beat me to the finish line. I don’t know how he does it but I know I can beat him at every other video game we have. I can beat him at soccer, too. And baseball. And football ‘cause I can throw a wicked spiral that even my Dad can’t do every time like I can.

At breakfast, Mom made pancackes. They’re my favorite. She said we could have them if we cleaned our room so I went outside to play after so I wouldn’t have to but Dad was outside already and said we couldn’t play in the yard until we did what Mom wanted. I hate cleaning up.

Later, we’re going to take a walk in the bush and find the skunk den. Dad says they’re gonna cause trouble if we don’t take care of them in the Spring but I know what he means. He’s going to shoot them. I’ve never seen Dad shoot anything. Just targets. This is gonna be cool. I hope the skunks aren’t home when we go.

See ya! I’m going’ for a bike ride.
