4. Get it together epiglottis!



I have recently had the unfortunate experience of breathing water. It is awfully unpleasant, and I don't recommend it. It was actually kind of a funny story, because while I was eating lunch today I had it happen to me in the middle of our busy lunchroom. I always bring my lunch from home, and there are many many reasons, that are too obvious to explain. Anyway, there is always a problem that everyone has if they bring a lunch from home. It is that those dang capri suns always run out so quick! So after I began making that "skiiiieeekk" noise that you hear when its all gone, I decide to show everyone at my table how a human lung works. So I blow into my empty capri sun bag, and it blows up real huge, and then as I am about to inhale, I get this crazy thought, "suck all the air back in as fast as you can, because that will probably scare allie" So of course, I try it. And guess what? All of the sudden, my capri sun wasn't so empty after all, and I breathed in a mouthful of Pacific Cooler. I think my epiglottis (the flap that helps you swallow so you don't let anything go down the wrong tube) is malfunctioning. Dang.
