chicken tacos.

one day i was like really hungry and i wanted chicken. i asked my daddy to make me and kyle some chicken tacos and he said no. i got really upset so kyle and i were thinking of how we could get us some chicken tacos. we decided to go pick up emily and then we got bored and went to the mall. when we were at the mall i was still craving chicken and tacos so we were talking about going to taco bell. then emily suggested to make the tacos ourselves. i am too lazy to do that so kyle said we could go to Grand Fiesta. i just really wanted chicken tacos and i wanted them from taco bell. after a while of talking it over we decided to get the party packed of tacos. we didnt want to take them to my house because my dad would eat them so we went to the park. it was dark outside by the time we got there and we were sitting in the car and next thinng i know, there is an animal! emily and i got scared and i threw a pen at the animal. it did not run away tho. i think it was jealous of our chicken soft tacos. we got the soft kind because i hate hard tacos. then we found out it was a raccoon! kyle wanted to hit it with the car but i said no because it would attack me and jack my taco! i would hate for a raccoon to steal my taco so we watched it eat garbage for a little bit then we went back to my house. i love tacos so much they are yummy! if you dont like tacos you are a bad person in my eyes! when we got home we watched a movie and then we slept over emilys house and ate more tacos for breakfast.

“Eat to live, and not live to eat. ” - ben franklin. this story relates to this witty saying by ben frank because its about eating and you are suppose to eat so you can live but in our case, we live to eat.. chicken tacos.

person of the year is actually going to be two people. Kyle Wieder and Emily Beny. i basically live my life with both of them and would be totally lost without them. they are both my best friends only because i dont have any other friends.. if i didnt have Em i would be eating taco bell alone in the park and if i didnt have Kyle i would be cold and naked because i basically wear his clothes everyday like an even bigger loser than i already am.

Nashville Tennessee is the place of the year because it’s amazing and beautiful. it has lots of nice people with adorable accents! also it has great schools and colleges. Tennessee also has pretty seanery and its so great i wish i lived there!
