The first thing I did this morning was go to the bathroom since I really had to go. Afterwards, my dad asked me to come downstairs and eat breakfast. My mother was still sleeping so it was just the three of us (him, my sister, and me). We ate egg sandwiches (he had a lot of noodles), and then we walked to the train station. My father promised me to buy a metrocard for me whenever we go to the train station but he didn't. Instead, he saved time and used his own card twice so we didn't have to buy another. Ha, I bet I got you there. Though at first I really thought he was gonna tell me to go under because there was a train security man right there. When the train finally arrived and all the people were waiting for the doors to open, I told my dad I'd bet most of the seats would be full by the time we entered. And sure enough, there were only three seats left, 2 to teh right of a woman and 1 to her left. I kindly asked her to move over so that my father could sit and see had no problem. See, everything can work out if you just be polite!
At the World Trade Center, my dad said we could go inside the apple store. However, since it was a Saturday the doors wouln't open until 10:00 A.M. But I could live with that, we instead walked upstairs and passed by the 911 memorial which I thought was still really cool to this day. One of the security people asked my father to tell my sister to not jump on top of the names in fear she might fall into the water. My dad got really mad and insisted that my sister did nothing, but even she had to admit the truth. He apologized and we continued walking, but only about 2 seconds after my father turned around and told the lady to not be rude. You would have thought that something really serious happened, fortunately nothing of the sort occured. The lady said she wasn't being rude but he wasn't going to give her time to speak (wanting the last word). I'm gonna be honest, I do stuff like that all the time, but that's at school. Because no one's gonna start beef with me and get away with.
Finally, we reached our destination! The Barnes and Noble store! I wanted to get a new manga book and some other (real) books to read for homework. The two of them spent most of their time in tge kid's section which I had no problem with. All the reading and quietness belonged to me. That is, until a group of college kids started walking up the aisle and talking really loudly. Now I know they weren't intentionally talking loud but it was pretty annoying. However, I wasn't going to lose my perfect spot to a couple of older teenagers. So I emptied my mind until their conversation seemed distant. Okay, that's a lie. I just waited until they left to continue reading... At this point, my sister had broken her slippers so went to get some new ones but ended up buying ice cream and walking back to the apple store. We stayed there for a couple of minutes before heading back to New Jersey.
