Last night was the registration/social/pre-tourney event.
Imagine lots of speech-debate kids running around with beans, cake, and dragging each other across a circle while talking, eating, and getting nervous for a qualifying tournament the next day.
Imagine a friend and I, walking out in the dark, bitter, windy night to find our mothers....
And all of a sudden the bush next to you begins to shake violently and from it comes the most horrible wailing sound.
(okay, I'm being a bit over dramatic here, but you'll have to forgive me, I've been at a tournament all day)
Anyway. You know me. I'm jumpy, blonde-ish, and rather gullible. But the first thought that came to my mind was "these are speech people. there is nothing odd about shaking, wailing bushes!" and I went about my way. (in case you are wondering, there was a kid back there. It was hilarious.)
More speech stories to come. If you think of it, please keep everyone in your prayers! Another long day ahead of us!
Oh my... wow... lol...
