Why Some People Are Annoying

I wrote this little short story during seminary some time after Christmas. There was this kid somewhere behind me that was driving me nuts! (actually, he was driving the entire class nuts) I wrote this to kind of dispel my annoyance and it ended up just being kind of fun:

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Ennoy. He was often caught doing things such as making stupid comments, getting off task, and doing things he supposed were funny, but weren't. Like tripping people, flicking things at people, slamming lockers shut (yes, they had lockers back then), placing gum in areas your sure to touch, etc. No matter what people said, he never stopped.
When he was old, he was eating some gruel by the fire when he said, "I must find a way to pass on my skills." (No one would marry him. Surprise, I know) So he put aside his gruel and went to the long journey upstairs to visit his mother's uncle's brother's wife's sister's son's dog's Grandmother (needless to say, she was a witch). She cast a spell that caused all of the village inhabitants to become like him. Then those two died.
The people of the village idolized Ennoy and dubbed themselves "The Ennoys". As time went on, the Ennoys passed on their skills to their posterity and each generation spelt it differently. Finally they are just called "Annoying". The saying "You are so annoying" was brought about by these people and is referring to the original "Ennoys".

The End
