My Family's Barefoot: A True Story
Barefoot
A True Story It was a beautiful, sunny day out, and I woke up only to figure out I had to clean. My chores were assigned and I got stuck with the bathroom, mopping, and dishes. Our cousins whom I adore were coming to visit us from Arkansas. Although I didn’t know it at the time. We see them once a year at Thanksgiving, so this was a big deal. Our parents told us some of our friends from where we use to live were coming to visit us. I finished my bedroom which only needed to be tidied up a little, and I sat in my room for 3 and a half hours reading. I finished reading Anne of Ingleside that was in a wonderful series called Anne of Green Gables. A car started pulling up our half a mile driveway, and I ran down to meet them. It was our cousins. It was a surprise had absolutely, so we had no idea when they were going arrive. They would have had to leave at 3 in the morning by the time they got …show more content…
there, for the drive is 11 hours long.
My mom and dad always told me not to go barefoot. It wasn’t a command it was just a warning to watch where I was to step. I have hated shoes ever since I was a little girl. I would take them off right before we went out anywhere, and I would scream and whine. I still hate shoes and wear them only when necessary. I love the feel of the grass under my feet. Especially right behind the house where my dad doesn’t mow. The grass is long and wispy. It is the softest grass I have ever felt. Studies have shown that when someone is barefoot it makes them more aware of their surroundings.
My oldest sister Addie loves to film movies.
Almost anytime we are with our cousins we end up filming a movie. She received a GoPro one year for Christmas and she puts the film onto the computer on iMovie. She then edits it and we get to see the final product. We all agreed on a movie to make. It was Anne of Green Gables. We love the old-fashioned movie that goes along with the book. We have all read it sometime in our life, and we it had the perfect amount of characters for us to do it. The character I had to play was the meanest, most rude person in the book, and she always gets involved in other people’s business. I was supposed to storm out of the barn after I didn’t agree with what someone else in the book said, and on my way out, I guess I didn’t lift up my feet enough because a big piece of rusty metal jabbed into my foot. It didn’t hurt, but there was a big pool of blood under my foot. Addie got it on camera and actually put it in the movie. I had a huge flap of skin dangling off of my foot. Chloe and Addie helped me walk up to the house and I had to soak
it.
I had a lot of fun with our cousins even though I couldn’t do everything they could do, being able to walk on two feet and all. Most people think I should have learned my lesson, even though I haven’t. Being barefoot and feeling the grass under my feet is worth a few cuts on my foot.
