Mardi Gras

     Mardi Gras is one of the biggest holidays in my family. Every year my dad and his family would have a float in a very big parade. One year when I was still about 11 years old my dad made a huge bag with lots of beads, and other stuff. He promised that he would throw it to me once his float passed where I was standing, and he kept that promise and threw it right to me. The problem with that was that I was not looking, so the bag hit me right in the head.
      Since the bag was full with heavy beads, it knocked me out. After some lady saw me she decided to not make sure I was okay, or even breathings, she just picked up the bag and walked off. Once my mom made sure I was okay she chased after the other lady and told her to give me back my bag. The lady refused to do so, until we told her that it had my name on the side of it since my dad wrote it. Overall Mardi Gras is one of my favorite Holidays.
