I learned that you should pay attention when someone is trying to teach u something. one day at football practice, our coach was teaching us some new plays. we were in line going through the play and I wasn't paying attention so when it was my turn to do the play I didn't no what the heck I was doing so the coach started yelling at me it sucked.
One thing I learned from that is pay close attention when a coach is trying to teach you something.

comma what
My father had left our house, in the midst of a fight between Lindsey and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her, to the Y to swim. Without thinking, Lindsey had blared "I'd rather die!" at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze, then burst fleeing to their bedroom, to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket, took the car keys off the hook by the back door, and snuck out.

story spinners: option-1
As the old man approached my friends and me talking gibberish, I think he was asking us if we would like to drink with him or something i really didn't understand what the heck he was saying. he was a real strange looking old man, he was riding a bicycle with a flashlight tied to the front handle bars, and he was barefoot.
We told him that we are not supposed to drink because we are only 15 years old, but he insisted that we should drink, so we decided to leave but that old man kept fallowing us every where on his little bike so one of my friends decided to start throwing rocks at him but all that did was make him really really mad so he started to speed up.
We all started to run for our lives but he was to fast, he started caching up to us so finally we decided that we could take him, it was five against one so one of my friends tackled him of his bike, he was so drunk he just passed out right there on the ground. After that we took his bike and rolled it down a hill into a lake then we just decided to all go home.
