Lol Bill the shark still makes me laugh. Here's K.


K is for Kaleidoscope

Percy rummaged through an old trunk up in Annabeth's attic. He and Annabeth were supposed to be 'cleaning it out' but it turned into a 'what is the funniest old thing we can find' session.

Annabeth had found a picture of her dad with a perm and Percy had found an old album that looked like it belonged to a hippie. So there Percy was, looking through a dusty old trunk in a dimly lit room, looking for something that was kooky enough to laugh at.

That's when he saw it. The outside was colorful and when he looked through it, oh man it was just plain awesome.

"What'd you find Percy?" Annabeth asked. Percy hid it behind his back.

"If you guess it, then I'll show it to you. You have 3 hints." They played this game all the time. One of them would try and guess what it was the other had and they had only 3 hints.

"I want to use my first hint. What letter does it start with?" Annabeth asked.

"C," Percy said. Annabeth thought for a moment.

"Copper,"

"No,"

"Um, okay next hint, what does it end with?"

"E," Annabeth thought again.

"Cape?"

"It's longer than 4 letters." Percy said helping her out.

"Percy can't you just show me?" Annabeth whined.

"What's that I hear? The daughter of Athena giving up?" he taunted.

"Percy…" she warned.

"Yes Ms. Giver Upper?"

"That's not even a word!" Annabeth complained.

"So?" Annabeth tackled him and got the object from behind his back.

"Percy, Kaleidoscope starts with a K not a C." Percy raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"No wonder I have a C in spelling. I suck at it." He said.

"You're so stupid!" Annabeth exclaimed.

"No, I'm not! At least I can spell Cyclops!" he retorted.

"Do not go there Percy!" she yelled back.

"Why not?" he exclaimed.

"I don't need this, I'm outta here." Annabeth said as she went downstairs, slammed the attic door and stomped down the hallway. Percy crossed his arms and looked as angry as possible. The stomping footsteps returned and the attic door opened.

"This is my house, get out." Annabeth said.

"Fine," Percy said. "But I'm taking the Kaleidoscope." He complained as he slammed the attic door and stomped down the hall to the front door.

Yes Kaleidoscope definitely begins with a K.
