 My
Mom's Ideas |
 My
Ideas |
| -
To lather
on copious
amounts of
sunscreen
every morning |
-
To lay out
all day
on the beach
with tanning
oil to get
a nice golden
tan |
| -
To read lots
of books |
-
To catch
up on all
of the shows
and movies
I missed
during the
school year.
There must
be twenty
CSI Miami
episodes
that I haven’t
seen yet. |
| -
To eat most
of my meals
at home. They
are healthier. |
-
To eat all
of my meals
at Board
and Brew
and Del
Mar Pizza.
The food
always tastes
better out.
I am certainly
not going
to pass
up the deep
fried Snickers
at the fair.
Like I always
say, I’m
only going
to be a
teenager
once |
| -
To religiously
attend, and
study for
my SAT review
class, that
way I will
get into a
good college. |
-
To call
in “sick” to
nearly all
of my SAT
review classes.
With the
beach, I
really don’t
have time
to think
about college.
I did that
all school
year long. |
| -
To clean out
all of my
drawers and
take all of
my extra clothes
to the Goodwill |
-
To buy even
more clothes
to add onto
the mess
in my drawers.
I will clean
them out,
along with
my closet,
when I go
to college
in two years. |
| -
To go to the
gym every
morning to
get some exercise |
-
To go to
the gym
when I feel
like it,
which will
probably
be during
my SAT review
class. I
will lounge
by the pool
and eat
junk food
from the
snack bar. |
| -
To get a summer
job and learn
the value
of a dollar. |
-
To pay for
food and
clothes
with allowance
from my
parents.
What can
I buy with
minimum
wage anyway? |
| After
contemplating
my mom’s
list, I have
decided that
I will incorporate
two of her
ideas into
my summer:
to use sunscreen
and to go
to the gym
every morning.
I realize
that a tan
is not worth
a possible
melanoma and
getting in
shape will
compensate
for the lack
of that tan.
Oh, and going
to that SAT
review course,
I’ll
probably do
that too.
Who knows,
maybe next
summer I will
clean out
my drawers. |
