And Just What Were You Thinking?

 1.
 I was scared at first. It was very wide, and very long, and it angled
 straight up. I decided I had to try it once. I slowly and carefully eased
 myself onto it. It felt weird at first. Then I got used to it. I went up
 and down, and up and down on it. I was really loving it.

 Now I ride on escalators all the time.

 2.
 I took my fingers and slowly, gently stretched it apart. It was so pure
 and white. I licked it once, twice... I found I couldn't stop. I licked it
 faster and faster, and harder. I began to scrape my teeth against it.
 There it was, in my mouth! All sweet and creamy. I was done.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 I threw away the outsides of my Oreo cookie.

 3.
 I squeezed it gently at first, then a little bit harder. There seemed to
 be more and more of it. I moved it towards my lips. It was a strange and
 new sensation for me. I put it in my mouth and moved it around and around
 with my tongue. The time soon came when I knew I had to spit it out.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 It was quite an experience the first time I tasted toothpaste.

 4.
 They were both round and firm. There was only the slightest difference
 between the two and it was hard. I used my other hand to grab the other
 one and twist it hard the other way.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 Now there's a brighter light bulb in the livingroom.

 5.
 It was laying limp in my hand. It was very long, kind of thin. I slid it
 between my fingers until I got to the end of it. I was turning it on. It
 became firm in my hands, and the end was wet. Then it got very hard and
 began gushing out of the tip.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 Then I took the garden hose and watered the bushes.

 6.
 I knew it could be done. I wanted to try but I didn't know if I could do
 it.  I called my friend. He said he knew how to do it and would teach me.
 He put his arms around me and started. I watched nervously in the mirror.
 He finally finished and pulled back slowly. I felt relieved that it was
 over.

 I hate neckties.

 7.
 It looked warm and dark, and juicy and inviting. I wasn't sure just what I
 wanted to do with it. I carefully pulled it apart with my fingers to look
 into it better. I knew how great it would be if I just started eating it.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 But I decided on ketchup for my burger.

 8.
 They were two of the biggest balls I had ever seen! They hung so heavy and
 low. I tried lifting them gently, but that wasn't enough. They had to be
 pulled, and I pulled on them very hard. They finally came.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 I moved them to a higher spot on the Christmas tree.
