There was a time when
my family and I traveled a lot, I was 7 years old and We were traveling to the
amazing Coveñas's beach, there are beautiful beaches right there and the
weather is perfect or so I think. Well, we were staying in my grandmother's
friend’s house and it was great because the house was just in front of the sea,
and the view was pretty cool. However, as any good kid would, I ran to the beach,
I took off my cloths and I jumped into the sea, this was the second time that I
was in the ocean but it felt as if it were the first time.
Therefore, I’d been
playing in the water for hours when my parents and my grandmother took the
decision to go out of there and go to eat, that’s why they went out of the
water but, I stayed in there, I didn’t care about anything, I was just playing
with the waves and the lunch wasn't important enough to make me come out of the
water, I don’t know if it was the destiny, karma or what, but in the moment in
which I decided to disobey, suddenly a jellyfish grazed my arm and when that
happened I felt the biggest pain in my whole life, a burn sensation ran around
my arm and I was very scared and started yelling for help and ran away from the
water, I didn't know what happened with me in that moment, I just knew that
something stung me on the arm and I had to keep me out of the water, but my
grandmother and a friend of her had been near me, watching me ,so immediately they
ran to help me and to find out what was going on with me.
However, they arrived
where I was, then my grandmother saw a large red spot in my arm and her friend yelled
two possible solutions to my unknown source of pain (to me of course), one of
them was to bury my arm in the sand, and the second one was to pee myself on my
arm, so I don’t know why the second option sounded better to my grandma, but
quickly she asked me: dear, do you want to pee right now? But unfortunately I didn't, I tried, I swear!
But, I didn't, so my grandma told me, don’t worry son I have to pee, so it
isn´t a problem, and I was in sock not only because the painful wound, but also
by my grandmother’s courageous action. Believe it or not, the pain was despairing
for me but there isn`t any scar that puts in evidence the embarrassing moment
that I had to live, but it will always be my mind as a funny and also shocking
moment of my life.
