The Twinkie Barricade
Into the Donut Hole
I couldn’t give up, for it was either me or the donuts!
What is you absolute favorite desert? I have a big sweet tooth so everything that contains sugar is my friend, but if I had to pick I’d say glazed pop ems. Made by Entenmanns, these delicious donuts are easy too eat. So I’m never surprised if I finish an entire box in one sitting! Unfortunately this desert has left a mark on me that I can never forget. No, I didn’t gain twenty pounds by eating a lot of them, but they did get me in a heap of trouble. Last summer, on the last day of June, was a day that I will never forget. It was around three in the afternoon and I was very hungry. My parents don’t buy junk food, so I usually ask to walk to the nearby store to get some for myself. This time my dad said no! And he explained that we were eating dinner in an hour or so and that he didn’t want to take a chance of me not eating at dinner. As a twelve year old “adult” that I thought I was, I disobeyed my dad and went to the store by myself. It didn’t feel like long, but when I got home dinner had been finished and the leftovers were wrapped up and put into the refrigerator. I checked my watch and it was six o’clock. I had done a great job of missing dinner completely and entirely missing the chance to get some leftovers! My dad came down stairs and saw me with the donuts in hand, and he was mad. He asked my I refused to listen to him and go to the store. I told him that I planned and getting the donuts for desert after dinner instead of eating the before. Apparently that didn’t change his feeling about the situation. He proceeded to start taking off his belt, and that was my cue. I ran past my dad and jumped out the back door. Down the stairs of the deck and threw my back yard, I was off my property in about four point six seconds. My dad trailed right behind me.
I knew my dad very well. So well
