Greetings cyber-strangers,
So yesterday was quite a treat. After school mummy and I (in our parkas of course) trotted up to the video shop (Xtra Vision) usually the only time I'm allowed TV (let alone DVDs) is on special occasions like when Daddy got promoted to the chap who puts the mint in the toothpaste (obviously he works in a toothpaste factory) five years ago. Or when there is a documentary about the Human Body as mummy says I need to know these things or about the Australian Fruit Bat.
So anyways,we were in Xtra Vision when I saw my favourite movie. I brought it into school in 5th class, THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT! the cartoon of course,mummy says anything un-animated is not suitable.
And Mummy said I could get some sugar-free jellybeans from the chemist. I carried them in my corduroys pocket. We were merrily skipping home,our feet barely touching the pavement. We arrived in my estate and on the green area (though it's so covered in litter it doesn't deserve to be called 'green' but mummy keeps our part quite immaculate.) and guess who was there? My number 1 fans of course: Daragh,Ultan,Aaron,Stephen,Lee and Bradley. Oh,and Jordan. He's sort of a second banana.
They all called over 'HEY KEVIN WAT DVD DO YA GOT THERE?'
I racked my brains for something 'cool' (though whats cooler than the Magic Roundabout I dont know. Let the lower mortals prattle I suppose) 'Die hard three!' I meant it to come out all tough but it came out like the Peruvian Mouse squeak.
Mummy looked startled and shocked.
'No! He has the Magic Roundabout! He's not allowed watch Die Hard THREE until he's forty! Do you boys want to come and join us? We have jellybeans! They're sugar free of course!'
Then I did something that might yield my relationship with mummy goodbye.
'NO MUMMY! I mean...MA! NO MA! YOU KNOW I ONLY GOT THAT DVD FOR MY 9 YEAR OLD SISTER!'
The boys didn't looked impressed to my dismay. They looked at my outfit next.
'Kevin wa de hell are you wearin?' Exclaimed Aaron,his nose running erraticly,I think that happens when he gets excited. He must have noticed his nose because he wiped it on his sleeve furiously.
Mummy shouted 'THAT'S VILE! WHAT IS YOUR NAME YOUNG MAN??'
He hesitated and eventually yelled 'JASON BEHAN!' and then he looked around nervously.
Mummy exclaimed hysterically 'NO! I know that Jason Behan,he comes to play,what a lovely fellow.'
Aaron paused again. 'NO,I'M LEE WHITELEY BYRNE!' And with,that he ran.
The actual Lee W.B yanked down his own pants and underwear and shouted 'I'M AARON BENNET!' and they all sprinted,his pants still down so he was lumbering.
Mummy tutted 'I'm going to enquire about those boys.'
'Please don't mummy,' I begged.
She sighed and then whispered 'Do you still want to watch the Magic Roundabout?'
I looked around and then murmured 'Yes mummy.'
So we did just that and I clung to her during the scary.
Later I went on that action figure bidding website and,HARK! Another email from that user again. His name is 'starwarsJB'
Wonder who that is.
Anyways,here is the email.
Loser,I've been watching you for quite a while and you're a bit of a geek I can gather. Your drawings are rubbish compared to my Spongebob masterpieces. And your mole is gross,just thought I'd add that bit in.See you soon dorkous.He draws Spongebob. That's hardcore.
Laters Ya'll,
Kevin.
