Retrospective

When I was a child and my younger brother was four we were at a beach in Mexico. He was sitting in a little inflatable raft on the beach. Every once in a while a wave would come in and lift the raft above the sand and he was so excited that he was oozing spit out of his mouth which collected into a foam bubble on his chin. I felt something under the water and grabbed it and it was some sort of strange sea creature which freaked me out. I ran out of the water and asked my parents what they thought it might have been. Because I was freaked out by the whole thing I was trying to act cool and laugh about it but internally I was actually a bit scared for reasons I can not explain. The laughter was obviously forced and I think my parents picked up on it and wondered why I was being such a wimp about a sea creature.

Later that night we I took a shower before doing to town for dinner. After my shower I forgot to put the cover back on the shower drain. We went to town for a nice dinner and came back and went to sleep. In the middle of the night I woke up in need of bathroom relief. I went to the bathroom and to my chagrin three huge cockroaches had come up out of the uncovered shower drain and were facing me from the bathroom floor. I got scared again and turned off the light and went back to bed. My parents heard me stirring and they asked why I had not gone to the bathroom. I told them that I had seen three huge cockroaches so I did'nt want to go anymore. My dad went in and killed three huge cock roaches and told me I was safe to go... I went back in and when I opened the toilet lid three cockroaches were dead in the toilet. Afterwards I went to bed and the entire night I couldn't sleep. I started to think there were three huge cock roaches in my pillow. The next morning I was glad to leave tecolulta.
