She smiled as she saw he two boys run around the front yard playing with themselves. What would she make the boys for lunch today? The older son's favorite lunch meal was a turkey sandwich while the younger son rather enjoyed a ham sandwich. Suddenly, she heard a small scream from outside.

Noah was an A+ student who was involved in numbers of extracurricular activities. One day, Noah and his friend, Ray, were hanging out and were invited to a party that night. Having never drank alcohol before, Noah was incoherently drunk when the cops showed up to bust the party later that night. Noah began to run, but was caught up quickly by the police car. When the police officers got out to chase him, he began running around them in a circle in order to avoid them. However, being so drunk, Noah thought he could hide in a front yard of a house nearby and pose as a garden gnome. Noah said to the police after crouching down in front of the house, "You can't see me, I'm a gnome.' The cops then tackled Noah and he was arrested.  Tweet: woke up sexy as hell again I'm so embarras...
