Technicolor Yawn


Context:

Jackson and I were
having a wonderful time at the LA County fair a couple of weeks ago. It’s such
a fun place to experience many different things about American culture. One of
the most famous parts of the fair is the food. They have deep-fried everything!
Deep-fried Oreo cookies, deep-fried butter, deep-fried nachos, it’s incredible!
I didn’t want to miss my chance at this unique experience, so Jackson and I
tried many different things. I even ate a fresh and colorful salad to try and
balance out my meal. Near the end of the night, we were riding roller coasters,
and lots of spinning rides. All the fried foods were making my stomach ill. I
was very nervous walking back to the car at the end of the night because my
stomach was so sick. Right before we reached our car, I sprayed some poor
stranger’s car with my technicolor
yawn
.
 It was quite
disgusting and Jackson was really shocked. I was so embarrassed, but I felt so
much better after that.
