My Day
When I was a teenager, I used to hang around in the park with my
friends because there wasn't too much to do in my hometown.
Sometimes, when I wasn't feeling shy, I would ask out girls. Sometimes
they would say yes, usually no. When it was too wet for the park, I would
call on my uncle Peter. He loved cars, so we would mess around with
old engines, trying to get them to work. Because he worked nights at a
factory, I would always take off from his place at around dinner time.
Then at home I'd stay up late watching TV. I'd never turn in before
midnight.
