Personal Narrative: The Fish Milkshake

Improved Essays
The Fish Milkshake This is a true story I like to tell that happened to me when I was 8 years old. I like to tell this story because it was a very embarrassing story, and embarrassing stories always make the best ones after they are all said and done.
It all started the day after my birthday with my brother Quentin, my mother, and my grandmother. I was rocking my brand new orange and grey Nike Shox that I was gifted for my birthday and nothing was going to bring me down. The plan for my birthday celebration was for a family trip to the Saint Louis Zoo, and I was as excited as any late night talk show host when they found out Donald Trump was running for president.

I began to hear laughter coming from my brother and grandmother, embarrassing me further. My mother wasn't laughing as hysterically as the rest of the peanut gallery because she had received some of the splatter from the initial impact off of my pants. The “wet ones” couldn't jump out of my mothers purse fast enough as I waited for her to clean me up. After clean up, I continued to walk around the zoo smelling like a sewer until we finally decided to drive home (with the windows down of course).
In the end, the poop ruined my day. The poop caused a lot of discomfort. The poop ruined my shoes, and the poop ruined my birthday, but it doesn’t matter now. I am actually glad that it happened , however, because I now have a very good story to tell my friends and family. Embarrassing stories are the best to

    There is a common saying that states, “Which weighs more; 200 pounds of bricks or 200 pounds of feathers?” One might say that they both weigh the same; however, the answer is the feathers because you also have to carry the weight of the great injustice done to those poor birds. When I was asked to list all the things I carry, I started listing the physical items, but after a while, I realized that there emotional items that I carry as well. I carry memories and feelings that either haunt or delight me. And while the physical things I carry are largely based on necessity, the emotional things I carry will be with me forever.…
