The Watsons Go To Bermingham Entrie #1

Sept. 15, 1963

today was absolutely crazy. i never expected to have to go save my sister from a bomb. Today started as the usual except i woke up late. when i woke up i was told by my mom that Joetta's church was bombed i told Byron to go and check it out but he didn't go. so i went. when i got to the front steps of the church i saw some kids that weren't moving my first thought was that '' I hope that one of those kids aren't my sister.'' i got closer and saw the shiny shiny shoes Joetta wore to church today. I got a little scared because I thought just might that joetta might be ''Dead.'' I started to get scared until i heared a little girl's voice. I yelled joetta is that you. The little girl was getting closer and closer. it was joetta we raced for each other i got her hand and we left I gave her her shoes and we went home. we were very excited to know joetta was safe and sound. that is how i spend my day.

Sincerly,
Kenny
