Every year, my parents take me, my brother, and my sister on an April vacation to Turdburd Island. Hang on, let me introduce myself. I’m Rose Brokos. My mom and dad are Elizabeth and Eddie Brokos. My siblings are Gaby and Ken Brokos. We are triplets, born on April 9, 2009.

All I did was show the permit to the judge, he validated it, and Mom was clear of all charges. Mom took me out to the ocean so that we could search for the passports. We got our diving gear on and went under. We searched for 45 minutes until I found Mom and Dad’s passports and Mom found my siblings’ passports and my passport. We went back onto dry land and started walking back to the tents. All of a sudden, the passports were taken out of our hands by two black haired children who ran
