• My very pain full visit to my cousins.
    By: Cameron Mccaamey


    One day when I was younger around the age of six my parents decided to take me and my sister Tehya who is 2 years younger than me to my aunts apartment while my brother Ben and my other sister Ashley were at their dads house. I had never met her before and I wasn’t sure of what to think of her. They lived in Virginia Beach and I lived in Maryland so for me it seemed to be an endless car ride. I drifted in and out of sleep just like the tides drift in and out to sea but some time waking up just enough to ask “are we their yet.” But to no surprise to me I all ways got the same answer “!! NO!! NOW GO BACK TO SLEEP.” I did as they said and went to sleep. When we finally arrived at the apartment complex it was already night time and I was very tired. The building was blain and made out of bricks with flower beds in front of it. My mom had already called a head of time to inform my aunt that we were almost there so they could show us to there apartment room.
    When I got out of the car my mom took me and my sister to the building were we meet up with a young man standing out side who I was later informed was my cousin Lamont but I just called him L. He took us up a metal stair case that led to his apartment which was a two story building. When inside we went up stairs and L showed us were we would be sleeping and I went right to sleep while Tehya stayed up to watch TV. The next morning L woke me up and got me dressed to go down stairs to eat breakfast. He had made eggs pancakes and strips of bacon to eat. Tehya had already gotten dressed and was sitting at the table eating but I noticed two other people at the table other than me Tehya and L. I asked L “who are those two people.” And he said “that is my brother and sister my sisters name is Dame but you can call her Mema and my brother’s name is Tevin but you can call him Mock if you want to.” After eating breakfast my sister and I were sent to the living room to play with the toys. Tehya and I like to link the building blocks and make a huge chain out of them we also liked to play with the toy cars. After playing Tevin took me to his and L’s room or what I call the boys room and Mema took Tehya to her room or what I call the girls room. In the boys room was a huge hermit crab cage with ton of hermit crabs in it on a dresser next to the bunk bed but I was deathly scared of them so I tried to ignore them. The boys’ room had a TV in it so most of the time I played Nintendo 64 which is a type of game system. I loved the game road rampage put I never really got to play because on that game you and the other play are on a team and I was so young that I didn’t know what I was doing so my team all ways lost because I held the game controller upside down so my cousins would un plug the game controller and give it to me so I didn’t make them loose. Some people problem think that this is mean but I don’t care because I didn’t know and I still was having fun and that’s a better solution than not letting me play at all and getting very up set and now my cousins do that all the time to the little kids who aren’t old enough to know better.
