The Snowball Fight

21 The Snowball Fight My mom always says, " Don't throw snowballs. You might hurt someone, or get hurt yourself. " But it had been a long time since we had snow, and I felt that lately she had told me not to do a lot of things. So, I got mad. " Oh Mom! You won't let me do anything. You're no fun! " I said as I ran outside, slamming the door behind me. I was playing in the snow with my friends, just building a big snow fort. I was feeling bad about what I had said to my mom. I was sorry that I had hurt her feelings. Then, out of nowhere. . . Wham! A snowball hit me in the head. It was not hard, but the whole back of my head was covered in snow. I turned around and saw that some kids in another snow fort had launched an attack. They had a big kid with them who could throw really far. I figured I'd better not throw back or I would get into trouble. But just then, a big snowball hit my friend's jacket and exploded, covering my face.

That was it. . . the battle was on. We all put on our snowboarding goggles, covered our faces with scarves, and we started throwing! I even got the new big kid right in the face with a huge powdery explosion. Then they attacked. They all came running with loads of snow and came right into our fort. The big kid grabbed me and playfully rubbed the snow on my face. We all laughed and laughed. Then I got some snow and gave the big kid a pile of snow on the head. After a few minutes, they all started to walk away. I was curious, so I said to the new kid, " Hey, what's your name?" His voice was muffled. " Ah, you wouldn't want to know my name, " he said. " I'm no fun. " “ Huh?" I said. Then, the kid pulled off his scarf. What a surprise! It was my mom! I guess moms can be fun after all.
