I was just sitting on my couch minding my ownĀ business, playing video games when it happened. My mom came into the room and started one of those 'lovable' speeches about how I should spend more time outside. So just to please her I responded "Okay mom, I will go for a walk in the park. Maybe I will even meet a new friend." For some reason the just seemed to make her day. How I made her day better, I may never know, or she just might tell me. As I walked to the front door to put my shoes on she did just that. "I really hope you do make some friends, you spend way to much time alone. And those internet people you play your games with don't count." she stated with a huff. That is one thing I will never understand about parents intuition, that they know what you're going to say or when you're about to lie.
So I just finished putting my shoes on, grabbed my wallet and told her I'd be back.Ā Luckily the park wasn't that far away and on the other side was an oldĀ arcade. It was nice out I admit. There was a soft breezeĀ and it was cool enough to wear just about anything. As I walked I saw the park getting closer and decided to just take my time, not like I was in any hurry. I wondered if anything interesting would happen today or if I would make that friend that I said might happen. As I entered the park a small smile graced my face as I waited for the day to play out.Ā
