Being up so Late Things are Funny



Being up so Late Things are Funny

It is very rarely that I am up late enough to find everything funny, but there was one night last year when it was me, my sister, and a friend of mine were up on our deck around the fake fire. Earlier in that afternoon, my friend and her brother came over to collect scarf’s that my mom had handmade, with team names, and numbers on them. The other mom and brother left, but my friend asked if she could stay for the night and everyone agreed that she should stay. We spent the first while of the night on YouTube looking up funny videos. Then we came across a video on how to light a strike-anywhere match on your teeth. We watched how she did it and how to do it right, then we grabbed some of my dad’s matches and tried on the deck. We tried and tried again, using dozens of matches, but we couldn’t get it. At this point it was close to 1am in the morning. Then we tried to do it on all kinds of surfaces. We laughed as we tried to light some on the windows, on the wood, and we tried on the fire pit. We were having such a good time, then I saw one of those plastic kinder surprise toys near the garbage. I went in to get it, and then lit one of the matches by the fire. The when I held the toy to the fire of the match, it instantly caught, and the whole thing went on fire, we were laughing, but we should have been more aware of the plastic dripping on the deck. We couldn’t stop laughing, the toy seemed to be almost flammable, when it shouldn’t have been. It was close to 2:30 in the morning before we went in and went to bed. That was one of those night when were we laughing for no reason.
