actually, to side with dan, your sentence structure was horrible. You should have said, "The ice cream the slack jawed kid gave me had a stale topping on it." but thats ok... i got it only after a few times of reading it...
speaking of which, I got it only after reading it a few times... ;)~
Are you trying to challenge me to some kind of grammar war? For each sentence I speak, you're confused 3-4 times. That's not my fault. My sentence structure is correct. Remove the adjectives: "The topping the kid put on my ice cream was stale." Is that so hard?
i understood it the first time
maybe you should try not throwing in so many adjectives that in reading it, i have to take a breath...
You have to take a breath while reading silently? Maybe adjectives aren't your problem. :)
