My parents and I were going to Colorado and planned on making the twelve hour trip in one day but we left at 3 o'clock p.m. and I tried to convinced my parents to rent a hotel in new mexico. They said no but I told them that driving in that late would make the next day miserable and that if we drove that long we could crash. They were still hesitant but eventually said yes.

I used to bribe my brother to do my chores. I said, "If do this, then I will play a video game with you." He's a nerd for games, and I usually let him pick what we play.

I was at church camp one year and me and my friends were messing around trying to talk in a British accent like a bunch of idiots and so I was doing it and I guess this girl heard me and she comes up from behind me and goes ¨OH MY GOSH ARE YOU FROM ENGLAND???" and being the fool I am I had to say yes. She freaked out and I told her that I had family in San Angelo that invited me to church camp with them and

My aunt and uncle grow watermelons in Garden City. Each year we go and visit them in the summer and help them pick watermelons. I told my little sister Katelynn that when you eat a watermelon you cannot eat the seeds. I told her if she did she would grow a watermelon in her stomach and it would be there for forever. However, one day I was eating watermelon and she watched me eat a piece of watermelon with a seed on it. She then started laughing at me and telling me that I was going to grow a watermelon in my stomach. That is when I had to tell her that I was lying and we had a good laugh.

I've always been able to persuade them to go get something for me when it's too far away. My sisters are pretty gullible and will basically do anything I ask them to. They're so young and active that they might as well get me what I need while they're still walking around. Sometimes they ask me why I can't get these things myself. I tell them that they're already standing up and walking around, so it would be more convenient if they got on their way to my room.

One time when me and my brother were fishing, I persuaded him to do some thing and it actually worked. There was a lot of grass below the boat and i was catching a lot of bass off the grass and my brother wasn't catching anything . So I was just messing with him and told him to tie on a deep diving crank bait. This bait dives down around 20 feet and the bottom was 6 feet and the grass was at 4 feet and the bait was meant for rock bottom or grass thats deeper that it dives. He took a cast and I dont know how but he caught a Bass along with about 10 pounds of grass.

I can always trick my sisters into doing my chores in multiple ways. One way is saying that I have a lot of homework to do and it is all due tomorrow and I haven't even started on it. One time that I wanted to not do my chores and I wanted to facetime one of my friends, I told my sister that I had a ton of homework due the next day she just said alright go do and I will take care of your chores. It is that easy as that my sisters are so vulnerable.

When my sister and I go and eat some where I always make her get up and get me ketchup or a straw because I hate talking to strangers. If she doesn't mind me I tell her that i'm going to drive off and at first she doesn't believe me, but she knows I would probably do that to her. I'm not the best sister in the world, but if I give her rides to places she has to do somethings for me.It's a win win situation.

When we were first considering getting a puppy, my mom told me that in order to be able to get a puppy I have to scoop the doo doo and my sister has to feed and water him. I quickly agreed because who doesn't want a puppy? However, when we got the puppy home I soon realized that for a little dog he drops some massive bombs and that I have a terrible gag reflex. I then decided that I could persuade my sister to pick up the doo doo by agreeing to clean her room AND taking over the food and water duties. She agreed because I sold her on the deal so well that she couldn't resist. To this day she is still stuck picking up dog poop and hates every second of it.

One time when I was younger Emily and I had been at her house all day, and we convinced her mom to bring home pizza from pizza hut, because we were sooooo hungry and I was "allergic" to all the food that they had in their house. This helped Emily and I get pizza and her mom didn't believe us, but we thought she did, so it was legit. By the way, I'm not allergic to anything at all. oops.

When my little sister was younger, she would do just about anything for a penny. She would clean my room, do my chores, and pretty much whatever else I wanted. Too bad she had to go to kindergarten, I had some slave labor back then.

One time, my friend, my sister, and I wanted to have a sleepover, so we decided to ask our moms. Only problem was, we knew they were probably going to say no. To remedy this hopeless situation, we devised a plan: make up a song about how awesome our moms are so that they will say yes. So we wrote the world's cheesiest song and sang it to them, followed by our question: Can we have a sleepover?
To our joy, it worked, and we had a sleepover.

To prevent Ally from swallowing gum, I told her that if you swallow it, the doctor will be forced to operate and cut the gum out of one's stomach.  It seemed like a good idea at the time and the fear of the doctor and knives made it work. However, one day she ran into the living room in hysterics.  I could hardly understand her through the tears and screaming.  She had swallowed her gum by mistake.  I had to admit to her that I lied.  Not the best parenting moment!
