Short Story - Learning My Lesson

 

            
            
            
            
            
             I have learned lessons in many different ways, but the ways that stick with me the best is when I get caught and get in trouble. The time that I got caught shooting rabbits out of a moving vehicle I did not get caught by my dad or and of my relatives, I got caught by the cops. They let us of with a warning that we could be in big trouble if we did that any more.
             It was April 2014 and my dad went out of town for a business trip so all the kids went to my aunts house who lives down the road so I was at the house by my self. It was Thursday night and I went over to Garrett Millers house we talked about what we wanted to do that night and decided that we could go coyote hunting that night because we did not have a spotlight and I did not have my gun so we watched a movie and I went home. The next night I went over to his house with my gun in my truck and when I got to his house we talked about what we wanted to do.
             I told Garrett " I have a spotlight at my house but I thought you had one so I didn't bring it.".
             Garrett replied " I do have one, or I had one but I don't know where it is Cade took it and never gave it back.".
             So I said " I could go back to my house and get mine but it might take about thirty minutes.".
             He tells me " I could go over to Cade's house and see if he still has my spotlight, he only lives about two minutes away.".
             " No you can't go over to his house it is ten o'clock at night so he is probably sleeping.".
             " Your right," he said. " We have to go get yours from your house if we want to go out tonight.".
             " Do you want to come or should I go and come back?" I asked.
             " I'll come with and we can kill any thing we see on the way there and back".
             " Well good thing I brought my gun.".
             We left his house at about ten thirty that night and drove over to my house which is about a ten minute drive.
