Our Great-Uncle Fred owns a sailboat that’s practically a houseboat, complete with its own bathroom and bedroom. We often get invited on the boat, but my dad gets really seasick, so we rarely go. When my grandmother visited, she wanted to go, so the whole family joined. It was Christian’s first time on the boat. He started off having fun, playing with our cousins and behaving well. The kids decided to play at the front of the boat, where there’s a small window that leads to the bedroom. Our cousins, who are skilled from years of gymnastics, easily slipped through the window. Christian, however, is like a bull in a china shop. The moment he stuck one foot through the window, he fell and crashed right onto Fred’s TV, shattering it. He was banned from the front of the boat for the rest of the day, and we haven’t been back since. Our parents had to pay Fred back for the TV.
