I’ve heard plenty of kids complain that there’s nothing to do in Barstow. But instead of sitting around in front of the XBox, these three Barstow Junior High School students decided to get creative. I came across them as I was driving down Virginia Way returning from an assignment Monday afternoon. Justice Chavez, 13, (left) and Pamela Martin, 12, (right), were so bored that they decided to wrap their friend Desean Clay, 13, in packaging tape.
The kids initially thought I was coming to yell at them when I did a U turn and pulled up in front of them to get a second look. But upon finding out I was from the newspaper, they immediately started hamming it up.
Who says kids don’t know how to use their imaginations any more?
