Stranded on roller skates
One Saturday afternoon I was sitting on a bench in Oakcrest Park looking at my new blue and white roller skates. My mom had given them to me for my birthday last week, and today I was going to try them out. After 5 minutes of getting ready I stood, and rolled past my mother. She raised her arms and clapped her hands. Then suddenly I tripped on a crack in the cement, and fell on my knees. I cried as blood oozed from a cut on my right knee. “Ryan!” my mother cried as she bent next to me. “Are you all right?” I nodded my head as she helped me get up. “We’d better go home and get you a band aid.” Though I still wanted to try out my roller skates, the cut really hurt and was starting to swell. My mom let me put my arm around her and we started home.
When we got there my mother put a bandage on my knee and I limped to the television. I got the remote and turned it on. “No, no, no.” She turned the TV off and told me to go upstairs and put an ice pack on my knee. I sighed, then stood up heavily and went to the kitchen to get the icepack out of the freezer. I dug in the icy chamber, until I found the M&M ice pack. I took the frozen container and started to limp to the staircase. When I got upstairs I took the ice pack and went to my room. Then I took out one of my favorite fairy tale books “ The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and started to read. It was an exciting tale of a girl named Lucy, who during a game of hide and seek, ventures into her uncles wardrobe, thus entering the land of Narnia. There she and her brothers and sister, Edmund, Peter, and Susan, defeat the evil ice queen, who had put a spell over Narnia, to be winter, forever. Then they become the queens and kings of Narnia, and live there until they’re adults, but then they all find the wardrobe again and enter our world, and what had been a few ten years, only turns out to be a few minutes! And they find out that the wardrobe doesn’t work as a passage to Narnia anymore, and that they will have to find another object. I read until my mother called me down for dinner, so I went downstairs. My mom had made spinach. Blik! I hate spinach, but my mom said it would make my cut better so I could skate tomorrow, (which in parent language means, if you don’t eat, you can’t skate tomorrow). After I had prolonged dinner as much as I dared, Mom threw her arms up and yelled “stop pushing your food around and just eat it!” That got me moving. I shoveled spinach into my mouth until I had cleaned my plate. Mom smiled in satisfaction as she looked it over. I took it into the kitchen to put it into the dishwasher. “I hope you didn’t feed that spinach to Dorothy.” My mom called into the kitchen as Dorothy, our old Golden Retriever walked into the Kitchen. I smiled at my mom’s comment, and pretended to let Dorothy lick a spoonful of spinach. My mom put on a fake scowl, and said, with laughter in her voice, “Don’t you dare, young man!” We both exploded into laughter, and Dorothy, frightened by the sudden outbursts, ran under the table to hide.
