Personal Narrative-Howling Woods
Howling Woods “Hey, Irene, try saying this: Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” Grady, my brother, said.
“Peter Piper picked a pick of pi-”
“HAHA, YOU MESSED UP!” Grady screamed. He was only 4, so I had to forgive him often. We were on the LONG car ride to our traditional camping spot, and we decided to do tongue twisters on our way. I wasn’t liking the idea so much now.
