Go To It
My friends, Austin and Jason, love
to react scenes from movies and TV shows, but alter them. Right now they are
pretending to be Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Jason is Minnie and Austin is Mickey.
Mickey has cheated on Minnie with Daisy Duck. Minnie is furious and decides to
take the aggressive route to express her feelings. She takes a gun a decides to
threaten to shoot Mickey for his lack of loyalty to their relationship.
“Mickey, I hate you! I can’t believe
I spent eight years loving you!” says Jason.
Austin says under his breath, “Pretend
to hold a gun towards me. It’ll make it more exciting.” Then he screams “Minnie
please! I still love you! I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you. Don’t
do this.”
“I can’t stand to look at you
anymore so I must kill you.”
Now they are laughing at themselves
being silly. It’s amazing how they can go in and out of character like that,
and how they think of stuff so quickly and randomly. They are so entertaining
to watch.
The three of us are all surgeons and
we work at the same hospital. One time about three years ago we were together operating
on a patient. They both hate our job-whereas I love it. As we were operating,
they start to react a scene from Grey’s Anatomy. I tell them all of the time
that they should pursue their dreams and be actors, but they’re too caught up
in the money rather than what makes them happy. One day they’ll realize that they’ve
made a mistake.

Funny story
I think the purpose of this story was saying you need to take risks with your life (the gun) so you can be happy with your profession and daily life.
I got a little confused when you started talking about Grey's out of nowhere, could have used more transition. However, I think the purpose here is that they are ignoring the things in life that bring them happiness.
The randomness of the characters directly reminded me of your randomness by bringing up they're surgeons out of no where hahaha. Anyway i think the theme could possibly be doing what you love rather then doing what you think you love (money).
Follow your heart and do what you love for the simple reason of loving it. The dialogue was interesting.
Interesting. I really like your writing style. Although the story did kind of jump around a little bit, that is the way a child's mind works so I wasn't bothered by it at all. I think you used symbolism within the story (or maybe you didn't and I'm just reading too far into things hahaha!) but I thought that the gun represented risk and the money represented greed? Also, I thought that in contrast to some of the other stories I've read, it elaborated on the lack of naivety within children (the cheating, the surgery, the gun... all very heavy topics for children.) Anyway, this was really good. Intriguing to see the events through a child's eyes.
