Surprise: By Cody

One day, I decided that I wanted to trick Wade. Before going to bed, I placed weights (the round cement filled disks that were part of Dyke’s weight set) in a line all along the mattress of his bed. I then covered the weights with his blanket and pillow. Later that evening when mom sent us to bed, I walked with Wade down into our room. As I entered the room, I ran towards my bed, and like a high jumper, I jumped into the air and then landed on my back. Wade saw what I had done and followed suit. He ran towards his bed, jumped high in the air, and also landed on his back. When he landed on the weights, he screamed out in pain. Immediately, he rolled off his bed, pulled the blanket off and saw the weights. He was so mad! He immediately ran over to me and attacked. As a boy, whenever Wade attacked, he was relentless. After I begged for mercy, he finally stopped attacking me. Wade then removed the weights from his bed, and climbed in. I had forgotten that there was also a weight under Wade’s pillow, so when he laid his head down, he hit his head one last time. Again, Wade was fuming and attacked me. Finally, he stopped beating me up, and we both went to sleep in a little pain.
The next night, Wade and I again walked into our room together. This time Wade ran towards his bed and jumped high in the air and landed on his back. Suspicious, I walked over to my bed, lifted up the covers, and found that my mattress was lined with weights. When Wade saw that his trick didn’t work, he warned me that he would get me back. On the next night when I climbed into bed, I noticed that my pillow was covered in peanut butter. Yuck!
