Lost At Sea
I love the beach, but I never knew how dangerous the waves can be as it gets
dark.
One morning last summer as I woke up, my mom got a phone call from one of her
good friends, and she invited us to Carmel Beach later in the day around seven
P.M.. When the sun began to set around six thirty P.M. we started to get ready
to go. We arrived there at the right time, and we began to settle down. My friend
and I went off to play as my mom and her friend were talking. As it started
to get a little late, I noticed that the waves started to get a little rough,
and the tide started to come in. My mom and her friend were talking too much,
and they were not paying any attention and a big wave came too close and took
some of their belongings like her purse, picnic basket, and a few other things.
My mom panicked and rushed in the water, and so did I. My mom and I were able
to recover everything but some damage had been done. When I gave my mom her
purse, she noticed that one of her credit cards was missing. I ran back in there
like a missal and luckily found it. I gave my mom her credit card and went to
take a shower behind the restrooms all the way in the back without telling my
mom. As I was taking a shower I could hear some yelling but I didn’t know what
it was.
My mom not knowing I had left the beach, had thought I had been swept in by
the waves, and she yelled BLOODY MARY!!! She was running around like someone
had taken her bananas and her face was covered in tears. She came close to the
showers, and I said, “Hey mom, are we ready to go”? acting like nothing had
happened. She ran to me and hugged me like I was a million dollars and she was
crying so hard that I can see a swimming pool in her eyes. I felt really bad
about no telling her where I had gone. I never want to see my mom like that
ever again and the most important thing I learned was that to always tell my
mom where I go especially at the beach!
