A strange day
I woke up, as usual, on a usual Tuesday. It was just a normal day. But today was different. I woke up in my bed, ( also as usual) but my head touched the ceiling. That was unusual. I looked inside the mirror. I was grey and wrinkly. The moment I saw myself, I was a big ol ' elephant. I had the longest trunk. I had two huge ears and eye lashes a finger long. I wailed in such shock.
I ran downstairs as fast as I could with my four heavy feet. I even ran like an elephant. One of the stairs literally broke as I was stepping on it. I looked around. No one else was an elephant like how I was. My mom wasn’t an elephant. Not even my sister nor my dad. lucky me!
I hugged my mom with my thick trunk. When i did this i kind of felt like Meena ( the elephant) from the movie ‘sing’ that i used to watch when i was little. Mom completely freaked out.
“ there’s an elephant in the house!!!!!!!!” she screamed.she was panicking.
“No! Mom! It’s me. Your oldest daughter!!!”
I said, trying the best I could to calm her down.but she looked into my eyes and she knew it was me.
Since there was nothing for an elephant like me in my house, I had to go to school without eating breakfast. But then I realized SCHOOL. I forgot about SCHOOL. I begged mom if I could stay home from school. Of course, she said no. I really didn’t want my classmates to see me as an elephant.
Anyways, I walked to school by myself and walked slowly so I didn’t have to face seeing my classmates.
When I got to school, it was a complete disaster. All the kids were looking at me. And I figured something out. Adults are very professional at hiding their thoughts, but kids, not so much. We were taking a test on handwriting.Another lucky day for me! I can’t even hold my pencil correctly and these teachers are making me take a HANDWRITING test?????
When I was done with the test, I kept whispering in my head, “i want to be human again, I want to be human again!!!!!” And then, it actually happened. I became human again!
And I smiled in my sleep. Under the covers in my bed.(wink!)
