A Bite to Remember
One night while my family and I were driving home a huge storm hit and made it very hard to see. We were on vacation. My mom Karen, dad John, older brother Tyler, cousins Candice and Darrick and I were all piled in the car. As we drove along through a wooded area, Tyler and Candice had started arguing. Tyler and Candice always argued. They were both the oldest in their families, but Candice was older then Tyler by about 4 years. That didn't stop Tyler from thinking he should always get his way. Tyler was short for his age, in fact I was taller then him even though he was 2 years older, but mom and dad were trying to help him with that. Tyler was going to be starting hormone therapy shots to help him grow. His brown hair was in what him and dad called a "buzz cut" hair style, he had a round chubby face and round metal framed glasses. Candice was a skinny girl. She had long brown hair that went to her shoulder blades. Just like always, she had a head band in her hair, this time it was purple. As I looked back at them in the back seat fighting, I rolled my eyes and thought, "I wish they would shut up. They are giving me a head ache." Beside me is my cousin Darrick. Like usual, Darrick is sitting quietly and just staring out the window at the storm. Mysterious are weird are words I would use to describe Darrick. He didn't talk much and didn't really like to play much either. He was my age. We were born about 3 months apart, but he had no interest in toys. Darrick liked catching bugs and snakes and other critters like that and blowing them up with firecrackers. Tyler liked to go with him at times. Even though I don't like bugs or snakes, I never liked that they blew them up. It was wrong and mean in my opinion. In front of me was my mom. In my opinion she has never changed in how she looks. The age I can remember is 30, and even today(20 years later) she still looks the same. Mom's hair was dark brown and shoulder length that she kept in a ponytail most of the time. Mom and I had a love of music. I loved going on trips with her(even if it was just to the store) because we would turn the music up really loud and just sing and dance! It was always so much fun! Driving the car was my dad. He was a tall man with short dark brown, almost black, hair that he always covered with a hat. He was wearing his teams baseball hat. It was white with a big purple 11 on the front and the words "film at" in yellow above the 11. Dad still played baseball with community people around where he worked. He was a good ball player and knew a lot about sports in general. Mom and dad were discussing what we should do.

Keep Your Mouth Shut
*Note- Names have been changed to protect the identities of the people involved.* My life started as normal as everyone else. I had an older brother, Trevor, who was born 2 years before me, a father, Damion, one of the strongest men I will ever know, and a mother, Kathy, who will become my best friend as I got older. Being born I do not remember(which in all honesty would be very weird and scary), I do remember trips to the community building in our small town during December to visit Santa and going to the park close to our house to hunt for Easter eggs. The first vivid memory I have was going to the doctor office to get shots. I was so scared, because I didn't know if it was going to hurt or even what to think about the fact that a needle was going to be put into my body not once but Twice! Needless to say, I actually did very well. My mom was with me and I was allowed to sit on her lap. When the needle pierced my skin, it did hurt, I had a few tears come out of my eyes. But, mom said I did so good that I could get something I had been wanting, I could get a pet! That didn't mean just any pet. I was only about 3 or 4 years of age, so a cat or puppy was a little too much work for just me. Mom told me I could get either a fish, hamster or a bird(and any cage or container that I would need to house my new pet). After we got to the pet store, I chose to get a bird. She was so beautiful! She was a small parakeet with green, yellow, a patch of blue on her chest and just a little red on her head. I named her Ariel after my favorite movie at the time "The Little Mermaid". She started with her wings clipped, but as the grew she was able to fly! My parents allowed her to fly until the day she died. Ariel would fly around the room and land on me, but never made messes in the house. She was a smart bird and one of the best memories I have of when my mom and dad were still together.
