Maisie lost a tooth

 

We were on the sea biscuit. My cousins Imy and Eve were here. It was the last day they were here. We really wanted to go on the biscuit. 

The sea was shiny and flat as a pancake. So we played paper, scissors, rock. Whoever lost had to ask Mum if we could go on the biscuit. Pip lost. So she asked mum and came back. She said, do you want to hear the bad news or the good news? We all said the good news. 

Well, she said, “WE'RE GOING BISCUITING” and then we said the bad news? 

Pip said,  “Not now. When the tide is in.”        

“No!” we said. 

In 30 minutes, we went to the beach in the car. It took another 20 minutes because the boat motor didn't work but we got it to work. 

Pip and I were the first ones to go on the biscuit. There were bumps. I knew what was going to happen and YES it happened. MY TOOTH!!!!! It flipped up. Mum pulled it out. I tasted the blood dripping down my chin.
