Personal Narrative: Breaking The Sleep Patterns

642 Words3 Pages

I was sitting at my dining room table eating a cold bowl of lucky charms one late Saturday night. I noticed that the rainbow colors from my cereal had drifted into my milk creating a vibrant ray of pinks and greens. That’s when I looked down to see my phone flashing with a message from my dad asking if we could talk now. Instantly, I opened my phone and said that I would be ready in five minutes. I quickly drank up my colorful milk, set my bowl in the sink, and walked up stairs.

It was oddly late for my dad wanting to call, usually he doesn’t call past 8’oclock and it was already ten, I wondered what on earth could be causing him to completely break his sleep patterns seeing how he’s usually in bed by no later than ten thirty. Meagan, my

  • Argumentative Essay On Fruit Rogers

    659 Words  | 3 Pages

    I was on my couch, watching television as the show I was watching went to commercial break. A few commercials in there was one commercial where if you had a specific code on the inside of your box of Fruit Loops you could win the chance to meet Aaron Rodgers. Since Aaron Rodgers was my favorite NFL player I thought it might be a good idea to buy some boxes of that kind of cereal just to see if I would win, so I told my parents about the commercial I saw and said I could buy as many cereal boxes as I wanted as long as I ate all the cereal in each box. Hearing those words from my parents mouths sparked an idea in my head which was, what if I gave cereal to friends for them to eat in the morning, so I could go through cereal boxes faster than if I ate them all by myself.
