Ice Breakers
Childhood For Sale Angela is playing baseball with her friends is at bat. She stares down the pitcher. The ball is thrown and Angela hits a homerun...right through Mrs. Brinks' window! Once the damage is totaled, Angela owes Mrs. Brinks a mini fortune. Her parents will pay to fix it but Angela will have to pay them back. Johnny's Uncle Nicky recently made a fortune selling his old junk, so Angela figures she can sell some of her stuff to make a few extra bucks. A date for an Anaconda garage sale is set. Angela separates her collection of stuff into two piles. One pile of things she will keep, the other pile she will sell. But each item Angela comes across fills her with so much nostalgia, she is unable to discard anything. Her "to keep" pile just grows and grows until there is nothing left for her to sell. Her parents suggest that Angela simply work off the debt. Angela thinks about this for a moment and decides it is better to just keep her old memories and sell the junk attached to them. Her time is better spent creating new memories instead of laboring away to pay for a broken window. The Best Is Yeti To Come While picnicking with her family, Angela sees something strange in the bushes. She snaps a picture and upon close inspection concludes she has captured a photo of the elusive Yeti. Her friends scoff. A Yeti is imaginary. If anything, Gina points out, the picture is of a Sasquatch. Angela's friends are positive Angela has simply taken a picture of her own thumbprint. Angela wants to prove them wrong and begs them to stake out the park so they can all catch a glimpse of the Yeti. Reluctantly, they agree. A rumbling is heard in the bushes. Is it a Yeti? No, it's merely Mark and Derek playing football. Another rumbling follows, but again, not a Yeti. Frustrated, Gina, Johnny and Gordy leave Angela to her own devices. As soon as they're gone, the Yeti appears. Angela is going to be famous. She and the Yeti will appear on the cover of countless magazines. Too bad the Yeti is really Mr. Mapperson in a big parka. Unable to admit defeat, Angela decides in her heart of hearts that the Yeti is real and knows she'll get another glimpse someday.
