This Is Me

I am learning to: post a photo on my blog.

The Unusual Shrimp.

I am learning to: inform my audience by sharing an entertaining moment.

It was about 2 years ago when my mom called me,“Elijah! Dinner is ready!” I walk out of my room and downstairs I went trying to grab the scent of tonight's dinner. I didn’t feel like having dinner. I wasn’t that hungry and I didn’t have an appetite. I touched the floor of the downstairs carpet and I could finally smell it, Shrimp! I loved shrimp! I sat down at the dinner table and Dad plopped some on my plate.

I grabbed the spoon and scooped some in my mouth. It took a few seconds to realize that what I just put in my mouth tastes different than before. My eyes starting watering, I started to gag, this was my body saying to spit whatever is in my mouth out right now before my TASTE BUDS DIE! So I put my hand over my mouth and run over to the bathroom where I spat it out the toilet.

I still wonder why shrimp tastes different now. But one thing for sure is that I have been trying my best to never make eye contact with that seafood again.

First Time On A Flying Fox.

I sat on the Flying Fox’s red, uncomfortable seat. I held onto the spring. I was nervous, I couldn’t really remember why though, I gave the spring an extra hard squeeze. Then, 3, 2, 1, The Flying Fox started moving, it first went slow, then it started getting faster, and faster, and FASTER! It felt like travelling at the speed of light. The end gets closer and closer, but it wasn’t showing any sign of stopping. The end was so close it looked like I was going to crash, but then…
BOING!! It bounces up! I bounced right with it. It then travelled backwards and got back to the start, It was time for me to get off, relieved that I was on the ground again.
