The Garage Roof

Going on Sydney's garage roof is an exhilarating experience, not only because you're breaking the rules, but because you tower over everything, and you can see the whole neighborhood. It is also a privilege, because Dever is not allowed on the roof without his dad. It is a very good photo booth for taking pictures of Crazy Bones (do not ask). Sydney and I enjoy eating popsicles on hot, humid summer days, while playing truth or dare. Some of the most memorable dares were those involving touching the hot tar on the lower part of the roof. The record is held by Sydney, who actually took the dare. We of course, have been scolded for being on the roof by our neighbors, but of course they were just jealous of how high we were. Maria has often attempted to jump on the neighbor's roof, but has never gotten past the part where she decides to jump. Her excuse is that she's afraid that the roof will cave in with her weight, and Sydney's parents forbid it.
