Kids. (Part II)

           Scene: FATHER's house. Living room. Nighttime. The television is on,                                          ALYSSA's brothers are in bed, and all is quiet. 

                    (FATHER sits in the recliner and ALYSSA is on the couch, reading.)

FATHER
                    (random talking)
ALYSSA
                    (absent-minded nods and 'mhmm's)

                    (JT opens his door  and yells from down the hall, clearly not having                                  gone to sleep.)

JT
Daaaaad? What happens when you get chocolate up your nose?
  
                   (ALYSSA laughs)

FATHER
How did you get chocolate up your nose?
JT
I was eating a Reese's and.. and.. I ate it while I hanged down off my bed.
FATHER
Well blow it out!

                    (JT is heard blowing his nose from the bathroom.)

JT
Daaaaad? Why is it coming out brown?!
FATHER
Because it's chocolate! Go to bed.

                    (Blackout)

                    (End of Scene)


This is the most excitement I've had all week. But it definitely made me laugh. 
Also, My cousin Kristi took me to dinner at this place called Pirate Island. The waiters get to dress like pirates and it's decorated like a pirate island, if you can imagine. I'm pretty sure I had the best fries ever. This is why I love my cousins. She's definitely 21 and was more excited about this place than I was... and she had even been there before. 

Heading to Kanosh, Utah, today. A teensie tiny town where the biggest place to buy groceries is the "Merc." It's actually a mercantile, or general store. Kanosh is one of those towns where everyone knows everyone and food shows up at your door on random occasions because the neighbor just felt like cooking and bringing it over. Or, as in the case of my grandma's neighbor, Debbie, they don't know how to cook for less than ten people at a time, so you get to eat their food because they have nothing else to do with it. Rather convenient, actually. Though... I'm incredibly happy they at least have a gas station so people do have to option to leave. Nobody seems to jump on that opportunity though. It confuses me.
