BFFS

I have allot of Really Really good friends, but my oldest guy friend is who this paragraph is going to be about. Brett Steven Bently is 14 I have known him all his life (he's 5 months younger than me) and our moms have been best friends even before I was born. For about 5 years he kept his sandy blonde hair at a foot long, which inevitably made him look like a girl. He was always getting teased so he got it cut and now looks pretty good. When he was 8 his dad died of lung cancer. Now he lives with his mom, Shelly, younger brother, Kai, and another family who are also living in their spacy farm house in South Olympia. Scince Brett is a Waldorf kid (meaning he attends an Olympia Waldorf school) he knows how to do things most normal school childern dont, like knit, weave baskets, and balance on yoga balls while doing school work (at school). Brett loves to enginere, invent, and construct things. An invention of his that I will never forget is the blackberry picker that he invented one summer while I was at his house, it was constructed out of a three meter long stick, one rubber band, 2 spoons, some string and glue. It actually worked pretty well but the rubber band kept breaking. For his 8th grade school project he is maing a boat, that you can sail, row and drift in.
Shelly (Brett's mom) is a very strict, sugar shunning, and protective mom. So putting all that together Brett does not lead the most typical of teen lives. For starters he rarely gets to watch movies, and isnt allowed to have a cell phone or eat a lot of candy. That is probably why he is so thin. Although I like his mom she can be a bit ... strict most of the time. One of the things that I envy Brett for is how much his family travles. When he was younger his mom and dad used to run in the Iron Man in Hawaii every year, now they just go there as a family trip. Scince Shelly's parents live in Minnisota Shelly takes the boys there for acouple weekes every summer. I still see him every once in awile now scince we are both so busy but it helps that we both row on the same team so I see him acouple times a month. We are the best of friends and always have been, I dont think anything will change anytime soon.
