"Mom, Peter, Mitchell, Elliott, and I are going to the football game now, and Peter is picking up a friend in Renville.Bye!", said Cassie.
It was a nice evening for a Friday night football game, but it began and ended with trouble. Peter was driving Mitchell, Elliott, and Cassie along with a friend of his. He FINALLY had his driver's license, and he just wanted to celebrate his independence!
As soon as they reached Renville, Peter made a wrong turn on to a dirt road that led to a cemetary. By the time he realized that he couldn't back out, he pulled ahead instead, and CRASHED into a tombstone, and drove in between two trees! Cassie became rather petrified about the circumstances, and said, "Peter, I hope you know what you are doing!" Peter and Mitchell both said, "You are a jerk! So shut up!" She began to realize that they were totally lost!:(
Peter finally managed to drive out of the cemetary, and drove to the nearest farm to ask for directions.But, for the second time within an hour, he realized again that he could NOT back out of the driveway! So, he drove through the farmer's yard instead! The farmer's wife went flying outside their door, and shouted, "My yard! The grass! My flowers! You drove over our yard!" cried, the woman. She sounded like a yelping dog crying in pain! Peter slammed on the breaks, and jumped out of the car! But, as he did this, the man grabbed him by the shoulders, and slammed him against the car, and shouted, "Darn it, why in the heck did you do such a crazy stunt like that? They shouldn't let crazy kids like you drive!" As the farmer and his wife both proceeded to yell at Peter, Cassie prayed that they would all get out of this horrible mess!
They finally arrived at the game with Peter's friend in tow an hour and a half later! After the game was over, Cassie proceeded to look for the car and her brothers, but they had already left!(Too bad they didn't have cell phones back then!) Cassie stuck around to see if they would eventually show up. When some of her friends showed up to offer her a ride, she had to turn them down because of the bad situation!:( (They were really nice friends too!)
Peter and Mitchell proceeded to finally show up, but without Elliott, because he had gone to a friend's house, and wanted to be picked up later! Peter and Mitchell also decided that they wanted to hang out at the Charlotte's Web Pizza Place. When they finally arrived, the boys proceeded to leave Cassie behind to wait by herself in the car! Well, Cassie had had enough of the shananigans of her younger brothers, so she proceeded to Charlotte's in order to meet up with her friends. Then Peter showed up, and told her that he was ready to leave! UGH! Only one problem, the boys procrastinated even longer, which unfortunately made them all an hour late from their curfew! When they finally arrived home, Peter proceeded to tell his siblings to not mention anything about the car! As soon as they all walked in the door, their mother proceeded to ground all four of them! In the end, Cassie prayed that she would never take chances like her rambunctious siblings did on that fateful night of football!
