We stopped at a traffic light. The coast near the freeway looks brighter than usual at this time of night, I thought. I leaned forward from the back seat and craned my neck up the windshield between my parents who were having a conversation and what a sight! It was a full moon, the other sphere that illuminates the night sky--it's enormous than usual, and is it gold? I have to start noticing things.
" Look, look!" I yelled, pressing my face against the window pointing at the moon as the car hit drive," It's a full moon today!''
Mom and Dad didn't even flinch--they must be really involved in their conversation, I told myself.
As we drove to the deli and waited for Mom to come out, I began to make up childish reasons why the moon was never noticed by me: (a) because she (it?) is shy and hides behind the clouds, (b) maybe since the sky is like a stage--everyone looks at it--and it's stage fright.
When we got home, the moon was even brighter. Weird, eh? The moon has many mystical ways, and it still does mystify us today.
I love to see full moons as well, expecially when I'm drinking a cold juice while I just look at the dark sky and then notice that there is the full mooon. I luv that feeling so much!!! Amazing Job on using the conventions! KEEEP ITTTTTTTTTT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
