MY DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY
Today my family decided we would go out. We made a lot of food; fish, chicken, bammy, bread, pudding the shebang.
We were going to Gut River in Mandeville for the day. I was excited because I lived near the sea and I dont get to go to the river often.
We took a 3-hour car ride with 2 at the front and 4 at the back most of which are adults. It was the most uncomfortable thing until I decided to lap up. We made it to 'Gut river' only to see that the place was deserted. Not only that the 'river' was knee shallow.
Pissed?!!
Dude I was cramped in a car for 3 hours to go to a place that was deserted. We left the house around 6 to pick up my brother's girlfriend came back to get the others who were getting ready and drove 3 hours to a deserted River. We drove on a lonely road where the trees and grass was literally closing in. There were bug hikes in the road and we had no signal.
All the signs were there. And none of us ate breakfast. By the time we got to the 'River it was 11:30 going on to 12pm.
We passed along of farm though, so on our way back, we got three big watermelons. I didn't have any but everyone else did. I got to see a windmill up close for the first time and I was amazed at its size.
Luckily on our way here, we passed Alligator Pond River. So we made our way back 15 to 30 mins. Now, this is what you call a River.
There was a lot of people present. There was a sea close by to the river with the whitest sand. The son was a killer but the view was pretty good. I was scared to change in my one piece because there was a lot of males at the beach but I eventually got over it.
The River was so cold. My sister and I were shivering. My brother and I however liked the sea more because it was warm and had fewer people. I think my sister enjoyed the day more than I did even with her misfortune.
The misfortune: We all have a flex, my sister's flex was that her phone was waterproof. Well, that's what they said. My sister was so excited to take underwater pictures because she had a phone like it before and she was scared to try it. So this time she did despite my many protests. I would rather not know if my phone is waterproof. My phone did not even leave the car.
So my sister dip the phone in the water, not even 30 seconds the phone started vibrating then it shuts off. I hate to, but I told u so but...
She definitely was not expecting that.
Unlike me, my sister could not go 30 days without social media or even 3 months without her phone. She was miserable but she did not let it spoil her day.
The whole family walked on the beach to Little Ochi. It's like a fish restaurant. It was about a 3-mile walk, I'm not sure it could be more or even less but I felt like we walked for hours. And it was a stupid idea because we didn't even take the money from the car.
I swear I have the best family. A lot of things happened today. My mom couldn't find her phone for half the day, my brother kept scaring his girlfriend with the remains of a lobster, I was upset because they wouldn't let me eat, The river we drove 3 hours for was deserted, my sister's phone drowned with the majority of our pictures and I had to study fit an English exam I had the next day.
It was truly a fun day, I would never change a thing and I definitely will not forget today.
