August 14th A Good Laugh

When told that I had two black stripes on my hand, one on my index finger, one on my thumb, and that she had to guess how I got them, my friend gave me this explanation.

You were surrounded by centaur soldiers and they told you that the only way you could survive the war was if you traveled over the vast valley of the jackalopes and pegasus for five days with only chocolate weeds to eat and purple water to drink so you did that and then you found the pond of unicorn tears. Well, you were very dirty and thirsty so you just dove right in! while you were swimming, a yellow-bellied spike-trout swam by and scraped your thumb. so you dove right out and crawled for two hours and seventy-five seconds until you found a black magaline flower  and it looked like a good bandage to you, so you ripped off a leaf and wrapped it around your scrape. Little did you know that the Black-Magaline flower squirts black ink at the sight of injuries. 
That is the story of the black mark on the thumb.
And the next month, you went on a voyage across the gumbapapa ocean on the S.S. Filliathatris. Little did you know that the ship was cursed with a horrible plague. you contracted this plague when you were arm wrestling that mermaid last wednesday. You were on the brink of death when a magical Nyad burst out of the ocean and told you that she would cure you if you did her one favor. She said you needed to travel over the mountain of impossibility to retrieve the peach-pit of fair fortune. 
So you set out and hiked over the mountain of impossibility with only your satchel of chrysanthemum biscuits and papyrus juice to eat.  after seventeen painful days of worthless travel, you finally reached the peach tree of life. 
so you took out the map that the Magical Nyad had given you. It said to dig a 400.78 inch hole exactly two feet north of the big straggly looking root of the tree. so you grabbed a clogging shoe and started doing just that.
Finally after 27 hours of digging you found a small leather bag. you opened the bag and found the peach pit of fair fortune!
Rejoiceful, you hiked back down the mountain of impossibility. you almost ran out of chrysanthemum cake when you finally reached the Gumbapapa ocean. You swam for 2.7 meters and bumped into the coral reef of sympathy. Just like the Nyad had told you. You yelled "Jumba Bumba Zumba Mumba Chio Mio Grio Leo EXTELLEMENDOLA!!!!!!" at the top of your lungs, WHICH almost stopped your left kidney! 
Finally the Nyad came and thanked you for your trials! You gave her the peach pit and she brandished her magical sharpie of healing-ness. She drew a single line on your index finder and POOF she was gone. You burped 6 times and made 3 noises that sounded somewhat like exotic birds when you were finally healed! 
You held on to the coral reef of Sympathy for 7.98 hours when finally the S.S. Villamont came to your rescue!
You hopped aboard and came home! Where you went straight to your computer to tell me this glorious news!
I laughed so hard!  I had to read it to my mom and dad and did so with great enthusiasm.  Now, after hearing this creative tale,  I'll be very impressed if any of you readers can guess how I really got the black stripes on my fingers!  (Though the real explanation is not nearly as entertaining as this story.)

I finally posted! I hope you liked it!
