Creative Writing Prompt
Growing up I loved to play outside. Whether it was playing home run derby with older brother or in the back yard playing with my dogs, I loved to be outside. I also liked to play city league softball and cheer for our schools termite and peewee football teams. I remember one time I was in the back yard playing with our big yellow lab that was probably twice as big. I put a leash on her and wrapped the other side of it on my wrist, then I got the bright idea to throw a tennis ball and make her go and get it. Well I forgot that the leash was wrapped around my wrist and as soon as I threw it, she took off and I did to. I did a complete face plant then she drug me all the way until she got her ball. I was then covered it mud and dirt and might I add it was NOT fun. But now I think it's funny and I couldn't get mad at her because it was my bright idea in the first place. Looking back at it now, I miss being younger and not having to stress about things but everybody has to get older sometime. Me and my brother would play outside together all the time. We would go to the batting cages up the street and I would watch him play because I was to young to go in the cages. My favorite thing to do was to play home run derby with him and all of his friends. Except he would always change the rules to where he would win and he would also hit the ball way across the street so I had to go forever away to get it. Now the he's married and I'm in college i wish we would have done more things together just because we are both so busy now with work and school and everything else going on that its hard to make time for us to go and do something together.
