//------------------------------// // Photos and memories // Story: Of Scooters and Hooves // by butterfield pancake //------------------------------// After Scootaloo, had that horrible nightmare, a large book fell with a thud onto the living room floor. Scootaloo asked me "Andrew what the hay was that?!" I respond to her "Oh that was just the album with photos of myself growing up." Scootaloo asks me with eagerness "Can we look plesae?" I respond "I don't see why not." [Note this chapter has flashbacks to my childhood and some of my Misadventures growing up] So we begin to look through the album, when Scootaloo see's a photo of me as a baby, and I was holding a rattle in my mouth and she asks me "Andrew is this baby you?" I chuckle nervously and say "yes" [Flashback] I crawl around with the rattle in my mouth trying to imitate the family dog Nickkie, My mother comments "AWW look at Andrew pretend to be a puppy!!!" [Back to present] Scootaloo asked me "Andrew did you really pretend to be a dog?" I answer her question by saying "Yup" we skip down some of the more boring photos and see a photo of myself when I was 5 [Flashback] I say to my friends "I think we should find a bathroom fast", one of my friends then suggests "Why don't we try the school, after all I don't want to use a bush." 10 minutes later we broke into the school through the roof and set off the alarm and the police came Young me "Ummm hi officer did we do something wrong, we just wanted to use the bathroom, since we no want to use bush." Officer "I can let's this one go since you obviously didn't know you were breaking laws, but for next time what you three did is called Breaking and entering and it is a punishable offense. [back to real life] Scootaloo "Hahahah that was really a boneheaded move Andrew." I responded by saying "Yeah, it wasn't one of my smarter moments, but don't forget I was just a little kid then, I didn't know it was against the law at the time." Next we come to a picture of me next to batch of freshly baked Naiamo bars [Flashback] After I baked them for my dad;'s birthday I was so proud until he took a bite of one and found it super salty and he glared at me and said "Andrew?, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU PUT IN THESE?!" I looked at the ingredients and face palmed myself. In reality, It had turned out I goofed and put in an incorrect item into the bars, instead of Grahame cracker crumbs, I had accidentially used a bag of shake and bake, and the sweet dessert was completely ruined. [Present Day] Scootaloo "Well umm what is shake and bake Andrew?" I explain to Scootaloo that shake and bake, is a mix to make crispy baked meals, like for example if you were to make a coating for potato skins and stuff, and it tends to have high amounts of salt in it. Scootaloo nods and understands "I can imagine it must have stated awful." I nod and say "Ugh I can still remember that awful flavour." The next picture was when I was 10 and I was next to a girl Iliked named Bernadette and I was holding a garden hose Bernadette "Andrew let's play kay?" Young me "Sure Bernadette let's play." Unfortunately I forgot I was holding the hose and the window was open and I ended up flooding the living room Dad "Andrew did you do this?" Me "Ummmm NO!!!, it was the ummmm spruce tree." Dad "Nice try, I'm not falling for that mister wise-guy." [Present Day] Scootaloo "Man, that is a lot like the crazy stuff the other's and I do to get cutie marks."
