Tomorrow, my sister Sherri is coming out to the beach to spend the night. It’s our first night together in the new house.We are going to watch Jaws, a family tradition. We’ve been watching it together for as long as I can remember. It’s one of her favourites, which is funny since it scared the crap out of her as a child.
You see, my parents took her to Jaws when she was 6 years old. I have no idea what they were thinking?! After seeing it, she was frightened of the bath! It was a traumatic summer for her after that since we practically lived on the beach. I could even tease her about the existence of the elusive “Lake Winnipeg Shark” and it would freak her out.
But a few years ago, when we were in the Dominican Republic, she did what I always thought was impossible for her. SHE SWAM WITH SHARKS! If you know her, you would have been shocked. I certainly was. But she did it and she had the time of her life. It was awesome.
She didn’t even mention the need of a bigger boat.
This movie screwed with my mind! I can't even open my eyes in the deep end of a swimming pool! hahaha
ReplyDeleteWhen I went snorkeling in Boracay, I had my face in the water, but I wouldn't even let go of the damn boat. Stupid fears!
