We were 10 minutes early at the funeral.Wow how fascinating.I had never been to a funeral before my bright blue eyes twinkled as I gazed around the massive dimly lit room filled with lots of patterned metal chairs with crimson colored cushions and a huge rimu wood coffin.

I had never met the man who died but from what I have heard he was a kindhearted man. But what would I know I am only six months old. My chubby little legs nearly popped out of my small white tights and I would not stop playing with my violet frilly dress.

I could not believe there were so many metal chairs but the was one chair that stood out to me the most because it was bigger than all the other chairs. The chair looked more mysterious and fascinating because of it’s maori carvings. Also it is right in front of were we are going to sit. When we got to were we were going to sit I went waddling up to the chair and for some reason it suddenly it looked like a playground with lots of wavy ladders that (were actually the maori carvings) and I could not climb them but I will defiantly try. I started climbing the ladder that looked the easiest to me ( but it was actually the chair leg). Then disaster struck. My foot got stuck and playground (chair) started leaning but I managed to get my foot out in time but I can’t run because I am only six months old. Bam!!! The chair landed on me. I was knocked out only for two seconds though.

My Mum and Dad came rushing over and took me to A&E and I survived. But I had a broken nose. But that’s not as bad as what I did in the car on the way home to Tauranga.
