Brenda, a rock, and a swim suit...

Since this story was so highly requested, I figured I could post about this today since I didn't feel like downloading my pictures yet. Which I probably should, but I REALLLLY don't want to, so I am just not going to. Here is the infamous (I think that word could go there...) story:

There once was a chick named Brenda. She decided it would be a most excellent idea to travel to Haiti with a 13 year old chick and a 16 year old guy that both find enjoyment in teasing her. What a mistake... They all went to the Wahoo Bay resort with the rest of the team chicks and guys. Brenda's next mistake was when she thought to tell some people that she flips out when people grab her feet underwater. Long story that I can't remember though... So the 16 year old guy thinks it would be funny to grab her feet underwater and see how loud she screams. The discovery: she screams in loud. The 13 year old girl thought she would try an experiment too, after seeing how well the 16 year old's experiment went. She decides to see what would happen if Brenda just so happened to have a rock placed in her swimsuit. As all good researchers do, the experiment must be repeated more then once to get good results. So the 13 and 16 year olds repeated both of their experiments to get the results accurately. Brenda screams loud every time, and pulls the rock out of her swimsuit ALMOST every time. This is where the title of this story comes in. The 13 year old picked up a rock, pulled back Brenda's swimsuit a little bit, and put the rock in. Brenda turned around and felt her back, but never noticed the rock. The 13 year old swims away quickly to avoid and punishment for her experiment that Brenda might have granted her with. Later, the team went to go have dinner at the resort. They all sat in wooden chairs in their swimsuits. The team noticed that it was raining fairly hard during dinner, but didn't think much about it because it had been doing exactly the same thing the rest of the week, and nothing had happened. Dinner was finished while listening to the sounds of the rain falling outside, and the team headed out to the trucks to venture home. The rain stayed the same speed and power for a while, but soon it grew stronger and heavier. Brenda still had the rock in her swimsuit. The trucks drove home for a while avoiding "lakes" in the roads, and almost made it there when they had to stop. The canal on the edge of the road was overflowing, and the road was blocked. The trucks could not go through. Neither could the team, including Brenda, the 13 year old chick and the 16 year old guy. The chauffeurs drove the trucks to a side road, where the trucks could be parked until they could be driven over the drowning road again. The team, still including Brenda, the 13 year old and the 16 year old, had to walk the rest of the way back. There was poop-water pouring out of the side of the wall surrounding the mission and everyone got even more wet if that is humanly possible. The team finally made it inside the gates. Two of the older missionary kids stayed back with the baby, and the oldest missionary kid made everyone brownies. However, half the team went to the other house because they were not informed of this information. When they did find out, everyone just decided to stay in their swimsuits because it was still raining extremely hard outside, so they were going to get wet anyways. The brownies were fantastic, and once everyone was done, half the team headed back to the other house for showers and bed. Brenda was going to take a shower. She went into her room and started taking off her swimsuit when she her a "klunk, klunk, klunk" on the ground. When she looked down, she discovered the rock that the 13 year old had put in her swimsuit. Brenda started laughing and when she was done with her shower, found the 13 year old and showed her the rock. Now, you might be asking how Brenda never felt this rock in her swimsuit. Her swimsuit happened to be on backwards. But still, this rock was pointy and not round at all. It was a fairly big rock too, but she never felt it. Brenda took this rock home with her and it is now her "Tori Rock."

Oh my that was a lot of typing. In case you didn't notice, the 13 year old is me, and the 16 year old is my friend Aaron. Both of us are going on the trip NEXT WEEK!!! but we haven't decided who to pick on this trip. Hmm.... I don't know.

School tomorrow, and I guess I have made you read enough, so I will stop typing now. That is good too, because my fingers are going numb from typing that story. You are so welcome. Ok, so my fingers aren't really going numb, but they sure are getting sore. I will post about homegroups/new camera soon. And another funny video from today. And maybe the pictures from today that my madre took. And I can post about school. Wow, that is a lot. I will try to get all of that in before I leave NEXT WEDNESDAY!! but I don't know if I will remember.

Ok, good night folks.

Wow! I love that story! I'm trying to figure out 2 things...how in the world did Brenda have her swimsuit on backwards? and how could she not feel a rock in her swimsuit? i'm going to have to have a chat with her tomorrow night! :)

Diane said...

Good questions, Melissa - the mystery continues....

Tori - I just want to clarify that we DID know about the brownies but were "freakin'" a little over the whole walkin' through the "poop-water" business. We washed our feet, changed our shoes and put on some clothes that didn't have to be wrung out (at least I did) because SOME of us were not in the back of a truck that actually had a tarp over it! I never expected to be THAT COLD in Haiti!! WOW!! An experience I'll never forget and one that I'd do ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! :)

Mari said...

That was a long story. It's no wonder your fingers are numb! I'm going to have to talk to Brenda too - how could she have her swimsuit on backwards? Thanks for sharing this. I have a feeling you may be in trouble with Brenda.

Chad and Tammy said...

Too funny! Like your mom, I would do it all over again too - poop water and all!! That was definitely a night to remember for many reasons (windshield wiper)!! The one thing I didn't realize was that Brenda's suit was on backwards. How in the world???

Zaankali said...

I see I am not the only one that got stuck on the part about Brenda's suit being on backwards. How does one do that?
Smiles!

Just wanted to clarify that this is Brenda Yonker we are talking about... I wondered how she could've gotten her swimsuit on backwards for a while too, but then I realized that we may never figure it out because it is her. Sorry for that pathetic answer, but I think you might have to ask her about how that all happened.

Brenda said...

tori mac,

Have I told you how much I love you!!

Actually in reality I was laughing so hard reading this again!!

It is NOT one of my finer moments but I am always up for a good laugh! Even at my expense!

For all of you wondering how I could put my bathing suit top on backwards well I should just make you think about that while longer! It is pretty humerous. I will just say it is a top and bottom (NOT one piece)and the top looks both the same on the front and the back. The back is just a little lower and I had to keep pulling it up and couldn't figure out why. i didn't realize until a week later when I went to a hotel with some friends that I had it on backwards at the resort and let me tell you I never laughed so hard in my life!!!
