the "memories" assignment

While on the road doing parler gigs with my parents, We often meet new people of all different types. One gig we had was at the rock creek fair. I had worn my homemade hemp headband that day, and I got a lot of good compliments from some local hippies. I also tried Gyros (roasted lamb deliciousness) for the first time, and made a few bucks off of the photo booth, so I bought some ride tickets on my break. I looked at other booths. I really wanted an airbrush tatoo of a fish. My dad didn't let me get it though, he drew the fish on my arm with a sharpie instead. The night was beautiful there, there were lights everywhere, and it smelled like carnival food and cigarrets. My parents and I were there for two days, and we did crossword puzzles to pass time. Overall we made a few hundred dollars, and it was a really great experience. I even made a bed across the pad in the backseat of our truck as we drove home, and I fell asleep instantly, we were there very late!

The Family Assignment

I know that this may sound lame coming from a thirteen year old, but my partents are awesome. If they're hitting the powder at a local ski hill, or making up slang words and guitar tunes, they will always have time for me. there are only three of us, and we are a band of carneys, meaning that we go around in the summertime, looking for carnival gigs with our old time photo parler. I get paid five bucks an hour.

This is my mom. She is a ski teacher. She likes celtic christmas music, dancing, and making friends... really, she is a social animal. She's willing to take me out skiing anytime, and she knows everyone up there.

This is my dad. He is a prop/set builder in the movie buisness. He likes guitar, making things, and creating pilots for shows. He teaches me like, eight new slang words every day...
