It was the day of August 31, 1989, and it was
my 7th birthday. I was so anxious that I couldn't
sit still. A couple of minutes later, my best friend,
Autumn Spencer, showed up and we had a blast! We ate
chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, and I opened
my presents, ripping the wrapping paper furiously.
Later, Autumn and I took all the things I got for my
birthday, such as 2 dolls, hair ties, and clothes and
threw them on my bed! About a hour later, we were
sitting there (in a total mess) trying to figure out
what to do next.
When I finally got an idea, I asked Autumn, "Do
you want to go swimming?"
"Sure," Autumn replied. We went swimming; we
pushed each other around in a giant innertube,
splashing and laughing. About two hours later, we
came back into the house to put something on over our
bathing suits, and when Autumn and I walked back into
the living room to go to the kitchen to get something
to drink, I noticed something in the living room that
shocked me. There was a brand new purple bike. After
I calmed down, Autumn and I went outside to ride my
first "brand new bike."
