Grandpa’s Priorities

My grandpa likes to take all of his grandchildren to adventurous trips, where my cousins and I have lots of fun. But this is the story of how he let us run after his car in the middle of the night. He took us to “la Riviera Maya” for the first time, the destinations were many beaches like Cancun, the most popular beach, but it took us more than 10 hours to get there because we went by car and we live far away from Cancun, but once we finally arrived, with the embracing sun and the fresh ocean breeze, my cousins and I demanded him to take us to the beach first. Since he likes to please us, we went straight to the beach after leaving our stuff in the place we would be staying. We were completely thoughtless, with clothes on and everything, we swam in the salty water trying to refresh our tired bodies. It was already time to have dinner, so we walked down the street hoping for our clothes to dry before getting in the car. But we were all soaked up. The car was new with leather seats, our grandpa would never let us ruin the seats, so he made us run after him in the middle of the dark night until we got to our place (it wasn’t a quick trajectory) At least, we slept like angels and learned to be responsible of our decisions.
