Camp Omatua, When I was Sick

  Why I did not go to camp by Riana

“If you were wondering why I didn’t go to camp, well it’s because I was sick all weekend with two swollen lumps in my throat.”the next day my tonsils had risen up around my mouth area and my mum said that’s what happens when your sick. Whenever i swallowed, it felt like i was going to cough up a whole lot of phlegm. It also felt like rough sandpaper rubbing against my throat. Also whenever i coughed it sounded like i had a dead frog croaking. I really didn’t like being sick and i wish that i never got sick in the first place!! Mum stayed home with me for 3 normal days until i was better. Every morning she’ll make me 1 yummy sweet lemon, honey and ginger drink just for me. At first it made my taste buds twists but then i started to get used to it. I hope that i don’t get caused with anything else next year.

mum said to me that it would be alright if I just stayed home until

i was all

better.

I really wish that I could go to “Camp Omatua”!  I bet that it would have been lots of fun.

Hopefully I won’t be sick again next year!
