The End is Near

According to a billboard on the freeway, the world is going to end this Saturday.  The end of the world has made for some interesting dinner conversations. 

Josiah:  If it's going to end, I wish it would do it on Thursday instead so I don't have to finish my England report that is due on Friday.

Kate:  I never got my own horse!

Ali:  I never got to ride Charlie in the field.

Josiah:  I hope it doesn't end until I'm 16 so I can drive first.

Josiah:   I hope it doesn't end until I'm 18, then I can drive and vote.

Kate:  Whats the point of being right about the end of the world?  It's not like you can brag about it!

Ali:  I've never been to Yellowstone!

Allen:  If I really thought the world was going to end this Saturday, I would of taken the week off from work.

Lori:  If it's going to end, you better be good!

Lori:  I would like to go skydiving before it ends.

Josiah:  Dad, we should go buy a Corvette, get it painted with flames, and go race it at the Miller Raceway.

Ali:  I want to ride in a hot air balloon.

Kate:  I hope it at least waits until after summer break.

Lori:  I'm not that worried about it.

Allen:  I'm not that worried about it either.

Kate:  I want to ride Charlie through the neighborhood before it ends.

Allen:  I hope it waits until Snowbird closes.

The end of the world has made us all think about what we want to do.  This is just a small portion of our conversations.  I'm sure there will be many more comments- at least until Sunday.  I think I'll wait until next week to start my spring cleaning- just to be safe.

Ali:  It's been nice knowing you!

  1. I bought groceries Friday night and the cashier mentioned "the rapture" and I told him I would be greatly disappointed if the world ended and I spent all that time and money on groceries. I made sure I got some ice cream and ate some that night!

  2. I guess the world hasn't ended yet...That Friday I was wishing it would do it a day early because I had a huge migraine that wouldn't go away. I would have eaten ice cream too if I'd known it was going to happen!
