The Adventures of Stevie
These stories were told to me by friends and other people. Some of them
are true. Some of them are only partly true. Some of them should have
been true. LOL
My first post about Stevie was when he was 12 and in summer camp and
was told by another camper. This was from a time before computers would
fit on a desk and when people communicated with friends in other
countries by actual letters sent through the postal service. When
children did this those friends were called "penpals". Carlos is
Stevie's penpal in Argentina and knows English. This is a fictional
contrivance to enable Stevie to tell us his stories because he isn't
here in person. I think.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stevie is 14 in this story.
The Adventures of Stevie ("Call me Stephen!") #2 "Pool Surprise"
Dear Carlos,
We finally moved! Our new apartment is in a very big complex. The
buildings are new and there is a big pool and lots of kids here. There
is parking on the hill right in right front of our building which made
moving easy. We moved just after school ended so us kids could help. We
didn't. Ha ha.
I decided not to go to summer camp this summer. There is a lot to do
here with my summer classes and art projects and I can sleep better at
home. I couldn't sleep well in camp with all those flashlights beaming
around all night in the cabin. I'm sure they had enough time to read
their comics during the day! I can use the pool any time I want to just
a few steps away. After it opens for the summer. After they get the car
out of it.
The day we finished moving in and were just about to eat supper we
heard a big commotion outside. We all went out to look. There was a car
sinking in the pool! The apartment buildings in our part of the
development are all on a hill that surrounds the pool which is down the
hill in the middle like a gigantic cereal bowl and we live on the rim
of it and the pool is on the bottom but filled with water not milk. It
has a fence around it to keep little kids from falling in but we found
out it wasn't good enough to keep cars out. People told us a car had
rolled down the hill from where it was parked and ran down the fence
and dived into the water. A lot of people were excited. I was too. Our
first day here was very interesting. Ha ha.
The next day we got a new car.
The other kids made fun of it because it was PURPLE!
That didn't matter too much because they all wanted to be friends with
me for what our old thirsty (ha ha) car did.
Maybe they were hoping for advance notice if it happened again?
Your friend,
Stephen
