Back To Disney World In December example essay topic

A Bruised Way of Life "BONG!" is the one and only word that anyone in my family has to say to bring back the memories of an incident that happened at the age of eight. Oh, but this horrifying happening couldn't have happened in my home, it had to have happened in the middle of my favorite place in the world. None other than the original Downtown Disney, on the most beautiful day there has ever been at the beginning of December. The day was sunny, cloudless, and warm. Or at least warm to me after my accident. First, let me take you back in time.

To the day that changed the way my family would make fun of me for the rest of my natural life. On the second day of our vacation to Walt Disney World, my parents, brother, and I decided that we all wanted to get some early shopping into our schedule before actually "hitting" all of the major parks that Disney World is known for. The usual routine for this area of vacationing was usually left up to the women in our family since it is the shopping area. Everything was going fine, going through the shops and looking at all of the merchandise we wished we were able to afford, when my brother, Brandon, spotted the water fountains that came up from the ground to play in.

Before long, Brandon was begging and pleading my parents to go play in the water with the other kids. Even though they were strangers. My parents, of course, said yes. After the first few minutes of Brandon's fun in the water, I just had to join in. There was no way that I was going to let my brother have all of the fun, then decide to shove it in my face. No way was I going to let that happen to me.

By the time a couple of minutes had passed, both my brother and I, were completely soaked from head to toe. That didn't stop the fun though! The two of us were having such a great time that it had become a chore for our parents to get us to stop. Although, it seemed like a game for Brandon and me! Brandon was the first to finally give in to my parents and stop playing so we could do some more shopping. But getting me out was a totally different story.

After a little while, I decided to just stand to the side and watch the smaller kids try to jump over the fountain openings before the water shot up at them. Let me tell you, this was one funny sight! When my parents had made up their minds about leaving, they called my name several times as they had begun to walk away. Next thing they heard was a loud sound coming from a light post near the fountains my brother and I were recently play in. They didn't see what had happened until they had turned around and say their daughter (me) sitting on the ground crying. When I told them what had happened they just started to laugh hysterically.

What had happened was that while my parents were calling for me, I was still watching the younger children in the water. I wasn't looking where I was going, and walked right into one of those old style lamp posts made out of metal. Right before I hit the actual pole itself, I had turned around. But there was, in no way, time for me to stop.

My parents immediately rushed me back to the hotel room, which was about ten minutes away, where I was treated like royalty by the rest of the family. I fell asleep soon after returning to the room and later found out that the way I had turned and hit the pole made me bruise my knee, shoulder, and caused a bump on my head the size of a small egg. And that wasn't even the worst part of the trip. The accident had happened on the second day, and we were going to be there a total of ten! So I got to be the lucky child who got to walk around Disney World for eight more days looking like a freak with this huge bump on my head and limping from the bruised knee. Some good things came out of the whole mishap though.

When a lot of the cast members (disney workers) saw that I was limping, or the bruise on my head, I got a load of special treatment. In almost every line for a ride, my family and I were able to pass people to get to the front of the line so that I wouldn't have to stand any longer than I had to. A lot of people were concerned and, as a small child, I felt special, or maybe even more important than everyone else because of the special treatment. What can I say, I was a small child wanting to do anything and everything in a new place! So whenever my family wants to get on my nerves, or just annoy me, all the have to say is one simple word.

"BONG!" They all know the memories it brings up. Now they are telling me that when we go back to Disney World in December, we have to take two pictures. One of just the pole, and one of me actually hitting to pole like before. I can really tell how much my family loves me! They will never let me forget that beautiful day in December when I hit the tall lamp post in the middle of Downtown Disney. I can assure you that a picture of the pole will be framed and hung in the hallway of my home for every visitor to examine and laugh at every time they come over.

"BONG!".
