I woke up in my normal bed in my normal house on the normal first normal day of another normal summer. My mum yelled from downstairs:

"Jim! Come down, your scrambled eggs and some milk with some cereal is ready!"

I smiled a smile I knew only I could smile when I heard my mum's voice. My mom was a person who I admired greatly. I looked up to see an image of her I had on the wall, with me and my sister and my brother and my father and my uncle. My mum looked as happy as any person who was happy could look. I got out of bed feeling the excitement for the upcoming summer period lengthen in shape and in volume, like a balloon excited by its blower's breath.

"Geeeet down here, Jimny!"

I bolted, rushing into my nice clothes and getting into the hallway, and making my way downstairs into the kitchen where my mother was positioned with my breakfast.

"Good greetings, mum."

"Hello. Did you sleep well"?

"I did."

"Good. I hope you're ready for summer of fun, enjoyment, laughter, excitement, happiness, hope, emotion, bliss, delight, euphoria, exhilaration, amusement, hilarity, and mirth."

"You know I am!" I said, enjoying the egg-taste inside of my mouth, and feeling the happiness of my mother's words spread through me like a hot knife through butter.

I finished up my hot plate and released myself from the house quickly, abruptly saying a hasty goodbye to my brother and my mother and my sister and my father.

"Goodbye!

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

I smiled, feeling their happy words on my back, pushing me forwards through the day like a horse being viciously beaten into submission.

"Hello Jim!" The my best friend, John, said to me.

"Greetings, John!"

John smiled a happy smile as we walked out of his house feeling the happy thoughts propelling us forwards like a granny who fell on the ice and is tumbling to her doom.

"SO how are you planning to spend this beautiful and amazing summer this year?" Jonh asked.

"I was about to ask you the same thing, John."

"Oh wow! Well, I was planning on experiencing the joys of human life inthe form of playing some video games and walking outside and finally getting a girlfriend."

My inner thoughts extended and intended at that, shivering like an apple inside of a blender.

"Oh okay, I understand." I understood.

"What about your self?"

"I was just planning on playing some video games and relaxing outside and meeting a life partner."

"Oh also we're twenty three."
