Goofy Little Things Cole Has Done

I’ve lived in Manhattan. I’ve lost Daquavious Bingleton. I’ve drank tap water from my bathroom sink. I’ve worn Crocs. I’ve been taught how to do a backflip off a plane and survive by Quandale Dingle. I’ve visited my own house and saw my dog pee on the kitchen floor. I’ve found the will to believe in humanity. I’ve held a controller and destroyed it. I’ve visited my half brothers in the Bronx. I’ve tasted McDonald’s chicken and fries. I’ve seen the bright color of the sky. I’ve seen an old lady get hit by a scooter. (It was very funny) I’ve also hugged my parents :)
