Cooperation

    Cooperation is not a big thing in my house. It does not happen much. But last Tuesday my brother and I got in a fight, at my little brother's soccer practice. It happened like this, I was playing goalie but I was just helping. My parents coach so I can help. Well anyway I was playing goalie against five year olds. Then my brother (Andrew) came and said that it was his turn to play goalie and I said no. So he asked me again and I said no. So then we started to push each other. Then we were on the ground resling. (I don't fight I just laughf) Finely I gave up and he played goalie.

    I cooperated with my family to help set up a wedding. It was my cousin Wendy's wedding. My mom set up the cake. I set up the decorations. My Uncle Dan cooked the food. The rest of my family set up decorations with me. I thought it was hard work! She got married to this really nice man named Jake. They had their wedding at Crystal Gardens. The wedding was a month ago in August. It was a nice wedding. After the wedding came the reception. They had it at my aunt's house. We had to decorate that too! She lives right next to Crystal Gardens. So that was perfect.
    At the reception there was good food and music! I think it was! The wedding finally ended at 11:30 pm. I'm glad my family cooperated to set up that wedding. It was beautiful!

Cooperation is always good expeshely when you have to start from scratch. I had to anyway. One day in autumn a few of my friends and I got chosen to plan a Halloween party. Alexa, Sami-K and I had to think of games, food, decorations and prizes. Sami-K's mom is a costume maker/face painter so we left decorations in charge of Sam.  We thought of a few games. Like Halloween Guess It, musical chairs and even more. For food we had pop, Gift bags, cupcakes, cheese, crackers, chips and even more yummy food. For prizes we gave out pencils and erasers. It was the funist party ever! Cooperation is definitly great!

     Cooperation is a rarity at my house, so this time was amazing. My mom told my sister and I that we had to clean the living room. We were just thinking about skipping out on it, but then she told us that we weren't allowed to read before it was finished! Now most people still would've skipped out, but my sister and I can't stand a day without reading! We decided that I'd do one half and she'd do the other. We started to work, but after a few minutes we realized that we weren't getting anywhere. Then she suggested that we actually work together on one part to get it done. Ick! Then, I finally gave in. Astonishingly, her theory actually worked! After a very long time of hard work to get it done, we finished cleaning the living room. As a result of our cooperation, we cleaned the living room but our only celebration was to read!

    Cooperation is a good thing. One time I had to work with my brother at a garage sale. It went well, but a few times Mike got annoying, but most of the time Mike was quiet and polite.
    We had to work together on the sign. Mike did the writing and I colored in the letters to make them darker. We also took turns filling the cooler with drinks and bringing out treats to the sale.
    We got along very well. We've made lots of money. When we cooperated it felt good!

    I never cooperate with my brother Hayden when it comes to the T.V. Last year there was a brand new show on that I wanted to see, but my brother wanted to play his new video game. I asked him if I could watch T.V. for a half an hour at our house. He said no and threw his toy at me. I think he is such a turd!  My mom eventually told him to play his new video game downstairs and for me to watch the brand new show upstairs. So we got what we wanted ant the next day Hayden didn't want to play his new video game anymore. I thought, "What the heck." My Mom and I hope that Hayden and I will cooperate some day.
