Back in our little house on Second Street, I had many neighbor friends. Our neighbors across the street and around the corner had two children, and had a huge trampoline. One day they decided to upgrade their homeowner’s insurance. The trampoline was a liability or something, so they asked our family to put it in out backyard for a little while.
Enough back story. Another neighbor, around the corner and across the street, came over one day in January of my second grade year, her third grade year and we decided to make some tea and jump on the trampoline. But it was so hot that we iced our tea and laid on the trampoline and made up a song instead of jumping. We wrote down our song, and I found it in my drawer last week. Here’s our marvelous song.
Hot Winter’s Day
By: Ariel and Holly
[both girls]
We’re sitting on the trampoline drinking some on a hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
[girl 1]
Then we see an avocado that we sure want to swallow on this hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
We jump up in the air and put some leaves up there on this hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
But we are sure to fail ‘cause we’re sitting dail on this hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
[girl 2]
We want to jump up and down, try to make a clown of this hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
Then we got a lemon and tried to squeeze it on Evan on a hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
We love this windy air and try to get it up there to blow down the avocado in the tree…

On this hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
Then as we’re sitting here, things became so clear on this hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do)
We should get a sparrow and use it as an arrow to bring down the avocado in the tree…
[girl 2]
But then we found out that on our troubles’ mount
There was the avocado that had fallen…

As we were sitting on the trampoline drinking some tea on a hot winter’s day (doo doo doo dooooo do oh ya ohooooooooooooooooooooooooo)

Yikes!! You were violent back then! Poor sparrow. And I wouldn't really want to be Evan either...
lol! That was awesome! That is one of those things that it is cool that you wrote it down.
So we could all see how devious you used to be to other people's little brothers. (Sorry, Evan just sounds like some kid's annoying little brother to me.)
I'm so glad you've altered your strange and violent way of life, or hope you have. Do you have somthing against little brothers?
Or enjoy chucking small, helpless birds at the environment?
rofl. we all have out dirty little secrets i spose :P and evan was the name of a kid in ariel's class who made fun of her name...we didnt like him. the birds ate our oranges. so they deserved whatever they had coming to them...
lol...I remember hearing about that...and trying to get avocados down, even though we both hated them. very nice. you should invite Ariel over sometime, and I can come and say hi. :)
