Going to the Mall with my family (Bad EXPERIENCE)

In the holidays I went to Sylvia park mall with my family. It was seriously a bad Experience with all the Chaos that was going around. I hope you do enjoy my description writing... Please leave a comment;)

As I look through the window of the store seeing many clothing and accessories (Including my reflection) I see strangers walking around talking to their peers around them, minding their own business as a matter of fact. My Mum and dad, younger siblings stand around me glimpsing at what I am looking at. I turn around not noticing they have already left me behind (If only I could fly) The scent of food already filling my mind. Me, my Family and I enter ‘The Warehouse’..... ‘30 Percent off clothing’ it say’s on the sign.

The voice of my brother convincing my mum to buy him an Xbox 360 game, I can already see the redness in her eye’s. My mum sleepy and tired, argued with my dad not noticing everyone in the store was listening to what they were saying. I couldn't believe how humiliated I was. My mouth watering with hunger as the smell of spicy hot butter chicken filled the air.

I could taste burger king as we entered the food court, Everyone munching on their pieces of chicken or whatever they were eating. Tasting the fresh but suffocating air as I opened my mouth to take a bite of my cheese burger.Taking one last bite as all my food was finished. My family still eating.... While I’m sitting there in silent mode waiting for them to finish.

As soon as my Family finish, we head off. Up the escalators feeling dizzy as ever. My mum starts up the Car, hearing the engine as it warms up. The foot hits the petal and we now head home.
