Bad Idea # 43756

Ayron has a high school friend that we have recently (well, I guess it's been two years..wow, how time flies) reconnected with. Ayron and Josh (yes, all of you New Hopers know them) have done some pretty stupid things in their time. Lets see if I can accurately remember some of their stories (which they tell ALL THE TIME!) Kelly, if I get these wrong, feel free to correct them!

1.) Ayron used to hold Josh by his ankles on top of the lift to hang lights in the old cafetorium at Eastside.

2.) Josh tried to drive through a puddle and flooded out his car.

3.) They would tell their parents they were spending the night at each others house and then drive around all night.

4.) "Remember the (insert a type of car here) and the night we (insert something stupid that high school boys would do here)."

5.) "Remember when the driver's ed teacher fell asleep and we drove the whole way from Ft. Wayne without him waking up."

6.) They would drive down the road and pass each other on the right.

7.) They would drive down back roads and open up the car doors and then kick out all of the garbage that was calling the floorboards home.

As you can tell, there is a theme to their friendship, automotive stupidity. Well, this theme lives on. Saturday we went to the Noble County Fair together (Josh, Kelly, Ayron, and myself). The boys now want to be derby drivers. I have talked Ayron out of wanting to drive with the old, "Honey, you are too tall. You would get hit and then stuck and they'd have to use the jaws of life to get you out." He is happy now with the idea of being Josh's "pit crew." There are two possible cars the boys could use so it looks like next year they could be in the derby.

Here are some pictures from the derby!

Yeah, I thought of a few more...

You forgot the ever-popular Josh copied all of Ayron's homework in English and got a better grade than Ayron.

The night (in high school of course) they rear-ended someone at the mall because (they said it was foggy but the real reason was) they were both checking out a hot girl and weren't paying attention.

The night they were racing down state road 8, Ayron saw the cop and slowed down and pulled off. Josh thought it was Ayron behind him and was speeding, passing cars on the right...the list goes on. How Josh didn't end up in jail that night I'll never know. He did get I think 2 or 3 tickets and several warnings.

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. It's official though, our boys are never allowed to be alone together. :)
