We Almost died…IN THE GARAGE

So, my family and I recently went to this Airbnb to have a 2-night stay. There were 2 families with us, 1 with no kids and another with 2 kids. We already knew those kids before. One of them was the most annoying female specimen (if we can even call her that). She SCREAMS when she doesn’t get what she wants, like “naa NAAA!!”. Then there is the other kid (he’s more important to the story). His name is Audhrit. So we were playing this game about Eggmen (yes, Eggmen), and Sanic (yes, Sanic). We had a lot of fun chasing after a ball we claimed to be an egg. The Sanic team had to protect the egg from Eggmen, who screamed egg-themed puns like “EGGTASTIC!” when he didn’t get what he wanted. The game didn’t make sense because if you don’t want Eggmen to get your egg, WHY ARE YOU BRINGING IT TO HIM? SO the next game we played was called Weird Strict Dad Gamshow, led by Aurhaan. We went downstairs to the basement to play. (Okay, for more context, there’s a basement below the Airbnb with a HUGE tennis table in the garage. We also lost all the balls because some fell in the trash can, and others were too dirty to play with.) So we were all down in the basement, and we made our way to the garage. Aurhaan started telling us the rules of the games when he realized he had forgotten something upstairs. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He gave a silent nudge to me to try, but it didn’t work for me either. Audhrit tried too, to no avail.

“WHO LOCKED THE DOOR!?” I asked everyone in the garage. Audhrit pointed to Aurhaan, and Aurhaan pointed to Audhrit. “How do we get out of here?” I asked everyone again. “WE SCREEEAAAM!” Aurhaan replied. We scream in the most unsynced, incoherent ways ever, basically, not English. Then we noticed it…

“Its a doggy door!” Maybe Audhrit can squeeze through it?” Audhrit started pushing his body through. It was kind of satisfying to see how he fit, though, so perfectly. He went out and alerted the other parents, then he came inside and opened the garage door. WE WERE FREE!

That night, we had toasted marshmallows and chicken with roti. I stared at the sky and saw a shooting star and made a wish.
