The Shoe Incident

Ok, so here's what happened:
Andrea and Melanie are inoccently switching shoes, while swinging (you're never too old to swing). I had come up with the idea of seeing who could fling their shoes the farthest. Apparently the palm tree in front of the swings was a tad closer than it needed to be. A slight breeze passes through the air as WHAM! The shoe gets stuck at the very top, this is a HUGE tree. Laughing slightly, we tossed more shoes up to try to get Melanie's shoe down. BANG! One of Andrea's plaid flats are stuck in the middle of the tree. Our laughter turning nervous, we hastily through more shoes into the tree. Quickly, some big 8th graders gathered around, with a football they attempted to get the 2 shoes down but .... the football wound up stuck too! The 8th graders took off Melanie's other shoe and hurled it at the items in tree (IIT). That other shoe became a member of IIT! Well, someone gets the brilliant idea to throw backpacks in the tree. FAIL. Melanie's backpack is stuck at the top with a cell phone and lots of teachers' homework inside. A standerby who I do not know called the FIRE DEPARTMENT, which said our situation wasn't an actual emergency.  Eventually, the weight of the backpack made itself and Andrea's shoe come tumbling down! I call my dad, who comes later with a ladder and a long pipe. Melanie's pink shoes come down and my dad ended up the hero!
