Holiday Recounts

My hands remember holding my freezing boysenberry ice-cream, covered with chocolate while watching the BFG at the movies. They remember getting gooey melted chocolate all over them. They also remember being tucked inside my pockets since it was so cold inside. My hands remember holding the ice cold drink bottle from New World.

My eyes remember staring at the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) sliding his hand through the window and snatching a little girl called Sophie. They also remember seeing the big fat, flesh eating giants sleeping on the rocky ground. They remember gazing at the BFG’s big, heavy ears flapping in the air. My eyes also remember watching the Queen, BFG and Sophie farting and farting all around the Queen’s Palace.

My ears remember listening to Sophie telling the BFG to say words properly. He always says snozzcumber instead of cucumber. Silly old giant! They also remember hearing the giants yelling for help because they were stuck on a small island. They remember the Queen asking Sophie if she wants to live with her. She said, “Yes.” My ears remember listening to the BFG saying that if Sophie tried to escape she will be gobbled up till there is nothing left of her!

My tongue remembers tasting hard hokey pokey lumps crunching in my mouth. They remember the hokey pokey lumps getting stuck on my teeth. They also remember arranging the ice-cream in my mouth since it was so cold and I was almost going to scream! They remember squeezing the pineapple lumps on top of my tongue.

My hands remember touching the shiny light blue water. I was at the swimming pool doing arm circles. The instructor says “One, two, heads up.”

My arms remember getting on the huge inflatables. I also felt the warm water all over my body in the big two metre pool.

My feet remember getting out of the extreme pool. I hopped on one foot into the kiddy pool. My feet remember jumping in the water. Belly flop… BANG! I accidentally went on my feet and banged my broken leg.

My ears remember kids screaming for lollies. “I want lollies,” yelled a kid. The kid is screaming because he does not know where his mother is.

My eyes remember watching people run to the end of the rocket.

My nose remembers smelling hot chips with BBQ sauce all over them. I also smell coca cola mints fizzing into my mouth. I also smell the mints through my nose.

My feet remember walking up the stairs to the Invercargill cinema to watch Ice Age. My legs got really sore when I was waiting in line for ages.

My eyes remember finding a seat in Cinema One. I was watching the movie start when the squirrel was in the UFO. He was really funny, especially when he got half way through the door then it would close.

My ears remember people quietly talking to the people they came with. A man came in to tell people off for putting their feet on the chairs.

My tongue remembers eating the delicious choc top (an ice cream with chocolate around it). The fudge was amazing. I wished it was larger because it was so delicious.
