Baby Power

Unexpected stuff can happen when your just a baby with no knowledge. Just like a moment I couldn't forget by the pool with my mom watching the scorching fireball called the sun fall gently and slowly into the grip of the glistening sunset. It smelled like fresh open sea yet it was already 9:00 pm and the sun was still setting into the endless horizon with people walking in and out of the tremendous pool. There were baby trees on all four corners of the slippery deck. The trees were in decorated pots. It sounded surprisingly busy like a popular restaurant. It was getting darker as the shadows of us blend into the growing darkness. As people got in and out of the pool, they held on the shining railings taking little slow steps with there soaked clothing which then made ripples of all sizes collide into each other. All I could hear at the time was a foreign language called English. Then, the stars were beginning to come out and shine like miniature suns. However, at the same time, the crescent moon started to come out as slow as the sun set out of our vision. As I held onto the the railings around the deck walking as slow as a turtle, a girl about the same age as me walked in front of me. Then I soon had the inexorable hunger to walk normally too so I got my inspiration from her and worked up my courage! As a result, I immediately let go of the railing and went zooming past her before I even started to walk! I was running so fast that it felt like the wind was clashing into me! My mom was galvanized and ran after me thinking that I would fall onto the rock hard ground! Then, after a while, I started to slow down a tad bit and soon started jogging awkwardly. Therefore, I soon decelerated slowly until I was walking and my mom was finally able to catch up with me and she scooped me up like I was just a scoop of ice cream. I was laughing and squirming at the same time while she slowly set me down and I ended up just standing like I was isolated. In conclusion, it's amazing what a little inspiration can do!
