I Remember

By Serenity, Harold Washington School
True Stories That's Weird, Grandma

I remember when I was 7 years old I went to my dads house. When got there he was watching Full House. I hated that show when I was young, so one day he took me to the mall so I could get some new shoes, clothes, and toys. I played with the toys, tried on my shoes and put on a new pair of clothes, then I said, "Daddy, I am so bored can we go to Auntie's house." "Yeah why not" he said. So we went over there in the car and stopped in front of the house and went inside. "Hi" I said to my cousins, "what's been going on?" "Oh nothing," they said, then they saw my bag. "What's inside?" "Oh nothing just some junk my dad bought me" I said. My dad looked over at me and said, "Excuse me, what did you just say?" I said, "Oops." "If this is junk maybe I should take it back to the store or maybe I should give it to a shelter," Daddy said, but when he said that I said, "I have to tell you, don't you know that show Full House. I hate that show it just makes you dumber and dumber." After that it was a very bad time in my life.
