what did I do wrong?

you need to import random library, just add this at the top of your code:

Code:
import random

Happy Coding

Thanks, got it to work. Thanks to everybody for the help. I will show the final product for constructive feedback

Code:
#My first program using some of the basic skills I have learned from Ex094
#and "A Byte of Python" by Swaroop C H.
you = input('What is your name: ')
age = int(input('How old are you: '))
import random
weird = random.randint(1, 100)
sum = (age + weird)
family = input('What is the name of a family member: ')
animal = input('Choose a animal: ')
verb = input('Pick a verb: ')
noun = input('Choose a noun: ')
word = input('Pick a random word: ')
print('One day {} who is {} years old, was playing at the park with {}'.format(you, sum, family))
print('When all of a sudden a giant {} jumped out of the bushes and said {}'.format(animal, word)) 
print('They were so shocked that they tripped over a {} and yelled {}'.format(noun, verb))
s = input('Did you laugh?: ')
if s == 'yes':
    print('Your funny')
if s == 'no':
    print('Should have picked funnier words')

RE: First program help - chmod - 02-22-2014

I usually like to have imported modules at the start of the program (just after your comments and before the variables) and leave a couple of blank lines between the comments, modules, variables and code. It just makes it a little easier to read especially when you come back to it down the line to improve it or add some other features. All in all though not a bad attempt the one thing I will suggest though is to convert the users input to a string rather than having to use "'s around the inputed text.

EDIT:
Ignore that last part about strings I was running the script in 2.7 when this is clearly designed for 3. When using the correct interpreter it run fine *facepalm*

Thanks for the input. I am thinking that I should just use this and build on it as I learn more. The next portion of Ex094's tutorial talks about list. Once I get a grasp on that, adding those functions on there.

Ex094: Thanks for the random number idea. My 14 son was "wait I am not 91 years old, i did not put 91 in there." It through them both for a loop.

Anytime, well I'm sorry that I forgot to mention the "Import random" header. I see one thing that you've imported the random library between the code. Well it's a good practice and recommended one that always have it on the top of the code i.e.

Code:
import random
