The Wedgie Report

How do you get a 12 year old boy to stay interested in a research paper? Let him choose the topic.
The topic: Wedgies.
The grade: A+

Grab a lovely cup of tea, and enjoy the lovely writing of Billy Martin IV. As he takes us down the unpaved road, of wedgies.

Wedgie Research Project 

By Definition a Wedgie is defined as a shoe with a wedged heel. Or an act of pulling up a persons underpants tightly between the buttocks. We are going to discuss the second definition. The correct pronunciation of the word Wedgie is ˈwejē. The Pronunciation is take from the Webster's dictionary, along with the definition. 

Let me introduce you to Wedgies. Have you ever got a wedgie from one of your siblings your older brother or sister? Have you ever got a wedgie in front of a group of girls? Have you gotten a wedgie that ripped your underwear? Has your friend ever given you a wedgie? Have you ever had a “Wedgie Dare”?

Who gets a wedgie? The most uncommon person to give a wedgie is popular people because they are the ones giving them. The most common person to get a wedgie is someone getting picked on (a nerd) some times at school some times after. Under no circumstances should a special needs child, a pregnant person, or an old man or woman get a wedgie. If you give a wedgie make sure it is to a healthy person. 

There are many different techniques to wedgies. I was able to locate a few using the website techniquesmegalisttechniques.com. Here are a few different kinds of techniques I learned. The proper directions to giving a wedgie is Step one: Find a way to surprise your victim. Step two: Grab their underwear and pull to the sky. Step three: Let go and run because they will want revenge and some.

“The Woman's Wedgie” is a wedgie that the victim is waring women underpants. The victim does not have to be a woman. They just have to be waring women's underpants. A guy usually gives this wedgie to a woman just to get there attention. Women do not enjoy this they get very annoyed by it.  Now a Quote from a highly educated woman “The higher the wedgie is the more they hurt.” She said that the worse type of underwear to were when getting a wedgie is the expensive type.

Another way of giving a wedgie is called “The Melvin”. It is also known as the front wedgie. I have never seen a front wedgie on video or in real life but I heard it is very painful. A quote from an extremely educated young lady “Bigger the person the more damage.” She said that the worse type of underwear to ware when getting a wedgie is elastic. 

“Hanging Wedgie”is another type of wedgie. “A rope is run thru the back of the victim’s underwear’s leg holes. The rope is then thrown over a tree branch or something similar. Someone then yanks on the rope, raising the victim in to the air. The rope should then be tied off.”Quoted from techniquesmegalisttechniques.com. This seems very illogical sense your victim would have to stay still for a little while, but if you have a big group the other people would hold him or her down.

Can you goto the hospital because a wedgie? YES. Our source information for this came from ChaCha! And http://healthmad.com/health/wedgies-can-cause-testicular-damage/#ixzz2MLTGjEB4, http://healthmad.com/health/wedgies-can-cause-testicular-damage/#ixzz2MLTGjEB4. Jack Watson had to get a testicle reattached to his scrotum because of an wedgie. This resulted in an hour long surgery. A ten year old boy named Dave Mark almost last a testicle when his school mates tried to reenact a cartoon they saw. These children should have been told not to try to imitate people on TV, especially  cartoons!

             The emotional causes from wedgies can be quite extreme. Alexxxxx201 at exspericanceproject.com, this person does not specify if they are a boy or girl, shares there experience of wedgies. “I have been in therapy for 5 years to get over this emotional scaring...I have cried many tears and fought back anger. I have screamed, cried, yelled, and punched my pillow till I was blue in the face...but none of it helped. Now as I am sitting here folks, bearing my soul to you all, I feel very vulnerable and exposed. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, tissue in hand and a heartfull of grief....

I am shaken, broken inside, and all people do is tease me. Never in my life have I experienced a wegie so strong, so snug, and so hard to get over....I long to meet and hear from other people who have been traumatized by a wedgie and I am here to give you all comfort and let you know...you are not alone. -” Be aware wedgie givers, DO NOT TRAUMATIZE YOUR VICTIM.

           People can go to jail for giving a wedgie. The following information came from this sources: "Charges for Giving a Wedgie" Fox News. This article reports that a teacher gave a 10 year old a wedgie and was arrested. The teacher should know to never give a wedgie to a minor.

A invention that could stop a timeless prank. The following information came from"Twins, 8, invent 'wedgie-proof' underpants". This invention was invented by Justin and Jared Serovich. The invention is simple, pull away underwear. A thin fabric with Velcro rips away easily when someone tugs on it. As a fellow wedgie giver I think it defeats the purpose. I would pick-it this business and not buy its products.   

In conclusion, wedgies are pretty harmless. We cant make a living off of wedgies we leave them in our childhood but you can bring them back now and then. Enjoy giving wedgies, I broke them down for you. Stay safe and don't take it to far.

This was so much fun to do with Billy. Im really looking forward to a great rest of the school year. 

....Always trusting in Jehovah......

Day 4 of 90

Pioneering. Monday service.

Service was plentiful. Plenty to do for Jehovah. We supported Grandpas service. He's got BIG plans this month. We forgot the stroller,and Korals bag, and my bible. But we made do.

Brother Albers conducted. He made sure all new what to do, and what not to do.
He gave us all somewhere to go and something to do.

While out and strolling door to door we found a hummingbird nest! What a treat. Billy found it. He has such a watchful eye when it comes to nature.

Which is good.

Bella couldn't get enough of her bro bro today. She wanted to work door to door.
He was not easily amused by everything, but Bella had so much fun.

Whistle while you work.....

My wonderful son making the kitchen clean.
Doing a fun booty dance along the way. :D

Pioneering day 1 of 90

For the next 3 months I will be pioneering. 30 hours a month for 3 months.

Today started at 8:00 a.m. Sweetly supported by Des and Costa.
9 am meeting, 7 chocolate candies and one melt down later, we found ourselves doing driving territory with grandpa. Who is the coolest guy to work out in service with.
Meeting was conducted by Brother Butz. There were (approximently) 20 people there.
Bonus: I got to see Des's puppy, who got mad at Baby Billy and Des had to show her that Billy wasn't an evil villain.

The melt down:

Who: Bella
When: after service meeting when she realized Costa wasn't working with us.
What: she wanted to give him a chocolate (half melted and bitten out of).
Why: costa was singing with her all morning, she wasn't ready to say good bye.

After service meeting, we had to stop at Nob Hill for apples (for the kids) and muffins (for grandpa.) around 11:30 Bella screamed out " I HAVE TO PEEEEEEE PANIC!!!!"
So we did. And we ran to jack in the box, where everyone peed and got something to eat.

Back into the territory. We drove up, up and more up a driveway that left us looking at 2 houses. One to our right, one to our left and a drive way going DOWN! I sent Koral and Billy to the house to the left and Grandpa to the right. Grandpa had a big, beautiful iron fence. He had no way of getting in, so he got a rock. And he was going to leave the invitation on the key box (code box) with a rock on top so the wind could not take it. Good idea grandpa! We then heard a little dog barking in protection, coming from the other side of the iron fence. "YAP YAP YAP YAP" grandpa looks up from his good-idea-task. Then another dog, then another, then another!!! Finally, the BIG one is barking and running fast. Grandpa starts running towards the van. 3 small dogs have squished their bodies UNDER the fence and their taking on grandpa, if they can catch him.
Grandpas laughing, and running screaming "I'm ok, as long as the big one dosent get me!"
Then he hops in the car, hand on the handle on the roof, ready to go, like Bo Duke. Im laughing. The little girls are laughing. It.was.great.

As if that's not enough action for one day, going down that giant drive way had no turn. I had to do all backing up. Which made me nervous. So grandpa tried guiding me, but I wasn't listening and couldn't stop giggling. So he reached over and grabbed the handle and told me to hit the gas. I'm sitting in the drivers seat, hands gently placed in my lap, foot on the break, laughing. Really hard. "Seroulsy?! You want me to let you drive this car back wards FROM the passenger seat?!?!?" He says "Yep." He dosent budge in laughter. He's serious! "What if we all die?!" I'm laughing and a little concerned at this point. He smiles and says "That's not going to happen. But if it does, you'll be dead, so you won't have to worry about being in trouble." And like a sweet dumb tag-along I say "Ok". LOL and gently push the gas!!!!! (How do the Martin boys take ALL THE LOGIC out of my head?!?) he did it. He guided me completely down, no problems, no issues, infact, he was board with how slow I was hitting the gas.

It was a great day! Lol always an adventure. Always! Lol

Oh yes, before I forget, grandpa and Fina were hiding in Carla's kitchen eating m&m's during the service meeting. Giggling and hiding. If it wasn't so darn cute, I would of been mad!

I included a picture of a goat wearing an orange coat. Why? Because its odd. And funny. Like my morning. :)
