The Marbles

One day I got out my marbles and made a marbles set.
I got my marbles out and I started from the top.
I let them go! When they reached the bottom I picked them up.
One marble had a face on it. I said, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” I cracked up laughing my head off. I said, “That’s ridiculous!’’ The marble said, “No it’s not.’’
I said to the marble, “Marbles can’t talk.” “Yes they can,” retorted the marble face. I said “Ok! Fine, you have it your way.” I took him to the top again. I let them go!
Half way through the middle the marble went, “Wooooo!” I laughed again. The marble said to his friend Sparky, “Let’s go again.” He was talking to his imaginary friend which only was another faced marble.
When I packed up the marbles we both became friends.
