Personal Narrative

¨Okay now they’re furious! We probably shouldn’t have done that. I´m going to retrieve the ball.¨ Ok I will follow you.¨ As my cousin and I race to get the ball, crossing the furious swarm of yellow jackets, my cousin gripped the ball. We were running to the backyard like the speed of light. ¨ OUCH!¨ I screamed. This is the day where I went wrong. 

My family and I were celebrating the 4th of July at my aunt and uncle’s house. When we arrived at 1:30 we arrived,( we were the last ones to arrive ) it felt like I spent hours saying ¨ hello,¨ and ¨ how are you,¨ to all my relatives. No fireworks yet but I played with the dog Buster because I felt bored because everybody was older than me. After playing fetch with him, I decided to talk to my relatives. I went up to one of my cousins in the kitchen. I joined into a little conversation about football. Lucky for me I know football. After 20 minutes chit chatting, I went to eat some burgers that were fired up on the grill. I did eat before I came ( Which was stupid. ) so I ate it it half way then I gave the burger to Buster.

I went outside, to go in the driveway to look for something to play with. Toys are usually lying on the ground so I went on a little search on finding toys to play with. All the sudden I see millions of bugs swarming in a area. I wanted to see why a lot of bugs were swarming around. I go in the swarm and I found a hole where all the bugs were going in and out of. I look closer and saw that they were Yellow Jackets. I ran away inside and told everyone. Everyone either didn’t care or they just took it as a joke. I walked into the living room mildly tense because this is serious. I tried to calm down and tryed to know that I came here to enjoy this day and be contented. I saw my cousin sitting on the couch alone tossing a football in one hand and looking at his phone on the other hand. I asked him ¨ Hey do you want to play football in the driveway?¨ ¨ Sure!¨ My cousin answered.

He tossed his phone on the couch and we went outside. We played catch with the football on the driveway. I made sure that we stayed away from the nest. After 10 minutes tossing football around, making sure that the ball didn’t go near the nest. We went on the other side of the driveway making sure that we didn’t go near it. All the sudden my cousin said, ¨ Do you want to throw that ball next to the nest?¨ ¨Uhh sure.¨ I answered anxiously. I could just see he was hesitating to throw the ball. ¨ C´mon!¨ I yelled. ¨ Okay jeez.¨ My cousin winded up and he chucked the ball like a baseball. Itś like I see it moving in slow motion. Then it crashes into the dirt. Three seconds later my cousin and I saw almost the whole nest just flying out. There was like 10 million bees flying out. Well that’s what it felt like. ¨ Okay now they’re furious! Iḿ going to get the ball!¨ My cousin yelled. ¨ Ok I´ll follow you.¨ I replied. As we race over to get the ball crossing the furious swarm of Yellow jackets my cousin gripped the ball. We raced to the backyard for safety. 

“ OUCH!” I screamed I limped over to the backyard. Three Yellow Jackets stung my left leg. My mom heard me screaming so she ran over to me to take care of me. So she retrieved some sort of medicine for bee stings. I was angry because my cousin didn’t get stung at all, but it is what it is. After this hot mess, the day was great. Especially the fireworks. Plus I loved the food. Best of all I had a chance to see my family. Finally lesson learned. No matter if they’re human or Yellow Jackets don’t abuse anyone.
