    • I was missing out on I don't remember what the soda was exactly but let's just say for the sake of this story It was an original bottle of coke from the 1800s It might as well have had cocaine because I was addicted to all the white powdery stuff They added in that drink pretty soon My tummy started to get the rumblies and I had no idea what was causing it So I told my dad dad my tummy hurts and he said hmm It's probably because you're dehydrated here have some soda and I still respected my dad at that age and thought he knew what he was Talking about so I drank more soda and then I threw up and my dad said we should leave I mentioned this next story in my first book available in bookstores near you Be on the lookout for book number two coming out at the end of March But one time my mom bought a giant three-pound bag of Skittles I forgot what she bought them for but they definitely weren't for us She locked them away in a closet because she knew what us kids would do if we got our grubby little hands on the Skittles This wasn't the first time my mom had to hide candy from us But this time she forgot to lock the closet leaving the Skittles unprotected and me and my older brother ate the entire Thing and we would have gotten away with it, but then something came up Puke I threw up on the family room carpet My mom saw how rainbow the throw-up was and immediately put two and two together and knew that we had gotten into our Skittles The funny part of this story is that my older brother got punished But I didn't because according to my mom I had already suffered enough And that's why that story is in the chapter titled perks of being the younger brother Anyways, don't eat so much candy that you throw up.
