Bouncy Ball Salad

When I was a kid, my friend Nancy, my family, and I were visiting our friends, Dominique, and Mary, in Charlotte, North Carolina. While we were there we went to a CiCi’s Pizza for some lunch. We stuffed our faces with salad, pasta, and pizza, the macaroni and cheese pizza was my favorite. After we ate, my friends, Nancy, Dominique, my sister Aly, and I went to play in the restaurant’s arcade. While playing in the arcade, I happened to win a bouncy ball. Meanwhile, a man in a suit had just come into CiCi's pizza and got himself a salad with dressing on it. While he was eating his salad, I wondered how far I could throw my bouncy ball.

So, I threw my bouncy ball across the restaurant and it bounced off the man’s forehead, landing in his salad, splashing dressing all over his suit. Right after my mom saw what had happened, she yelled “she’s autistic”, and rushed all of us kids out of the restaurant. Then she went back inside, apologized to the man, and offered to pay for his dry cleaning. The man told my mom not to worry and laughed it off. I did get quite the talk afterwards but I was not punished too harshly. When we went back to Mary’s house, all of the kids went inside. My mom and Mary stayed in the front yard and laughed hysterically at what happened. I never saw that bouncy ball again.
