This is a story of how me and my brother ended up in prison after trying to make our sister a birthday gift. It all started when I decided that Lily(our sister)didn't have enough colour in her apartment and that making a lamp cover out of multicoloured straws was the perfect solution to that problem.
I eventually roped my brother Albus into helping me and was seriously regretting that decision when he wouldn't shut up about how we were out of straws every time he handed me a new packet. Until he got all serious and said "That really was the last straw".
I sent him to buy some more and since I was the older brother he had to obey me. At least that's what I told him when he protested. So, I was sitting there wondering when Albus would get back when I got a call from him saying that there were no more straws at the shop and that he was on his way back.
While I was wondering what kind of shop runs out of straws I heard the doorbell ring. Irrationally thinking that it was Lily I jumped to the table and threw my coat on top of the lamp cover not realising that the coat just made it even more obvious.
After I did that I ran to the door and saw Albus standing there. With a kitten in his arms. I opened the door and was just about to start yelling at him for getting a cat when said cat decides my face would be a good place for it to be. So a second later I'm there yelling my head off and trying to get rid of the cat stuck to my face while Albus is practically on the ground laughing.
I finally got the blasted thing off when I see a complete stranger running up to Albus and let me tell you, the stranger looked pissed.
"What're you doing with my cat!?" He starts yelling and Albus turns around and looks real surprised at seeing whoever that guy was.
"This is your cat?" Albus asks him and the stranger nods, still looking angry. I decide that I don't want angry cat guy to come after me so I throw the cat still in my hands at him shouting "Here it is, catch!"
Of course me being me, I threw the cat completely wrong and it ends up on the ground miles away from its owner. Angry cat guy goes after it then after getting it starts shouting at us.
Soon enough the cat gets bored and my face must have looked really good that day because the cat jumped out of the mans arms and onto my face again. I did what anyone would have done after being attacked for the second time in ten minutes and started flailing my arms around, panicking.
The gods must have hated me because I ended up hitting angry cat guy in the face and then got punched in the stomach by angry cat guy in revenge. I ended up falling on my face and the stupid cat wasn't even there to cushion my fall, having jumped off my face at the last second.
When I finally look up again I see Albus and angry cat guy having a fist fight on the front lawn and I decide to join in. Since it was the middle of the day a passer-by saw and called the cops. Of course we didn't realise until the police was standing in front of of telling us to put our hands up.
An hour later we're in a holding cell feeling sorry that we wasted our phone calls on the wrong number and I'm back to wondering what shop runs out of straws.
