I flipped through the channels, nothing dragging my attention, not even my favorite channel number 7. Dad sat beside me, a glass of wine in his hand. He watched me flip through some more channels and after a few seconds, he yelled, "Wait, stop there Yeji! Lets watch that."
I rolled my eyes, and threw the remote control onto the sofa. Every movie my dad choose, are mostly detective and mystery. And this of course, was one of them. It was SUPER boring I shall say, but my dad was so into the movie he didn't notice I stood up and went to the kitchen to get myself some bread. I sat back onto the black sofa, and looked around. I was drowning in boredom;I had to do something.
Then thats when an idea hits me . I turned to look at dad, who of course was still drinking his wine , while looking at the T.V. I saw the blood-red wine shinning inside the glass.
"Dad, can I take a sip of your wine please?" I asked, my voice shaking. Dad stopped watching the T.V and looked at me, confused.
"You want to drink this???" Dad asked, his face the are-you-crazy sign.
"Yes, just a sip. I want to try how it taste like" I replied. Dad thought for a moment, and I heard nothing but just the sound of the T.V.
"Ok, but just a sip." He warned, handing me his blood- red wine. The smell was so strong. Grape, alcohol, and other things which I couldn't recognize. I put my lips onto the glass, and slowly, but carefully started to drink little by little. The taste was powerful, it was worse than anything I've ever tasted in my whole life. A frown stretched across my face, and quickly I placed the wine down on the table.
"AHHHHHH ITS NASTY!!!!!" I yelled, running to the kitchen to get some water.
"I knew you wouldn't like it" I heard my dad say behind me. Drinking the water didn't help much but at least some of the taste went away. I sat down back on the sofa and looked at my dad drinking wine. I shivered. The wine slowly started to dissapear.
Thats when I learned it. I will NEVER again drink wine. I can still remember the taste perfectly. My dad used to tell me wine taste like grape juice but just with alcohol but NO WAY, its not true...Its WORSE. At least to me it was. I promise to myself I will never again let that glass of wine near me. The worst part is, I had a really bad stomache ache AND my disposition went normal to bad...-.-
I like how you described your reaction and your dads reaction
ReplyDeleteHahah. I hate wine too!! Its soooo bitter! I can really see how your reaction was, like Paola said. Good job!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha, i liked how you described your reaction to the wine, it was funny. I also liked how you made it sound that you had nothing to do at the beginning. great job.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your memoir. Let's see if you still feel that way eight years from now, when you can legally consume fermented grapes:)
ReplyDeleteHaha nice its super funny I like the description
ReplyDeleteNo offense, but it's probably because you are too used to drinking sweet sodas and stuff, I personally HATE most sweet drinks, therefore I drink wine when I get the chance(Legal as long as it is in my house).
ReplyDeleteNicee Yeji! I really like how you described what you were doing before and after you drank the wine, it set up the whole story. The tone in the story was intresting, it was bored, then curious, then jumpy, then back to bored. It was kinda like a roller coaster, GREAT JOB!
ReplyDeleteGood job Yeji! It was a very funny story, I liked how you went step by step which made me imagine everything! :D
ReplyDeletehahah so funny awesome story!
ReplyDeleteThis was super funny to read! i really enjoyed it! your descrpition was really good! great job!
ReplyDeletePs.: i don't think i want to drink wine now after reading this!:)
Yeji! i like the story, it was interesting to read with the descriptions and paragraphing, good job!
ReplyDeleteHaha i realy like the story yeji, i love how u discribed the taist of the wine, and how u shiverd when you saw your dad with the bottle in his hand. :D
ReplyDeleteJajaja Your story was really good, I could also feel the bitterness you must have felt when you drank it, even though I dont neccesarily identify with you... It really depends on what type of wine it is. When I was in Italy; they have something called Lambrusco. Its like a less bitter version of wine, I used to water it down, so I could drink it on special occasions, and today I appreciate the wines, and champaignes better. Its really just now that we think of it as bitter, cause we like to drink soda. Like Nick in my house there arent that many objections to drinking it...
