Day 19

:write about a sweet memory from your past

Well, since I was just talking to Lexa on Facebook chat, the first thing that popped into my head was our EPIC PANCAKE BATTLE!! I capitalize it because when I say it in my head, I say it in that awesome announcer voice from like, Space Jam and what not. Anyway.

When Alexa and I were liiiiike 13 or whatever, we lived next door to each other. We lived like that for somewhere around 5-6 years. It was awesome. I mean, come ON! Living next door to your best friend? Nothing better. We used to bake cookies and make pancakes a lot during summer because we were both always home alone. So one night I had a friend stay the night, and the next morning we made like a million little pancakes, and then I called Alexa. Our front doors faced each other, so she was an easy target. I'm not sure if it was a planned out thing to throw pancakes at her, or if we were just THAT cool and spontaneous. I tend to lean towards we just randomly did it. Anyway, I hurled the first pancake and it was ON. Alexa was throwing them back, I was pelting her with them, my friend was throwing them too, it was a mess. The bushes between our houses were covered in pancakes. Well, they were chocolate chip pancakes (are there really any other kinds at 13??) and we have chocolate chips EVERYWHERE. They were on her mom's roses, on the mats in front of the doors, on the sides of the house, on everything. Her mom was SOOOO pissed at us haha. After we had this epic battle though, she came over and we ate the rest of the pancakes! YUM!

We still laugh about it to this day on a regular basis. It's definitely a sweet (literally!) memory.
