-Have Terry retell the story that one 4th of July family reunion and the things that happened.

Everyone in my family thinks that I am a clown, well I might have to agree with them. I mean I am always doing things that would make me look like a clown. Take for instance at my families family reunion, I am always getting myself into trouble. I don’t know way people would think if you bring one scarecrow to a party, way it so funny, maybe it was the fact that I dressed him up in my close and I named him Terry, that not very funny is it. Then they thought it was funny that me and some my brothers were lighting bottle rockets, black cats, and a few other fire cracker of some kind, off in the scarecrow.

Then I took some of my nieces and nephew to A&W and the traffic was just to slow, so since at that time volunteer firefighter were allowed to have sirens on their personal car, I just flipped on those sirens and I got to A&W a lot faster. Now I don’t know way they thought that was funny all I was doing was getting there faster.

Now were this party told place which was in Salmon ID, people there love to have rubber duck races, now that’s funny. You see what they do is those that what to you and buy a rubber duck for five dollar and it is given a number with your name. then what they do is put all those rubber ducks in the Salmon River and race them down it, and the first one to cross the finish line wins. Thou the winner dose get like $500, and they think that I am funny.

Then I am always getting in trouble, even when I don’t do it. You see one of my nieces took one of those strains of black cats, lit it and put it be hide someone then it goes off and who get yell at for doing it, me of course. Will come to think of it maybe they yelled at me because I maybe lit five or six before that and though it behind few other people. And I steel got yelled at when it wasn’t me the last time.

Then later that night as they were setting off the fire work, which I was not allowed to help because they thought that I work do something funny, all was going well, then one of the fireworks tipped over and shot off to were the fifth wheels and morder homes were at and went off over there. They thought about yelling at me but that one was not my fault. Then not to long after that one of my nephews comes running around the house and yells “Uncle Terry on fire” everyone turns around to look at me and will I’m not on fire, then he finishes scarecrow Uncle Terry on fire. So who’s the first to get blamed well me of course. Turns out those firecracker I set off in the scarecrow set the scare crow on fire. So no matter what I do it seems that I am always getting in trouble or being laughed at, even thou most the time it is my fault.
