A Exciting Earthquake

There are special moments scattered throughout life, and one of my most exciting moments came on an ordinary day. I was helping my six-year-old brother, J.J, with his math paper. Our dad was sitting across from us at the other end of the table when it began to vibrate.
We thought Dad was shaking the table and he thought that someone might be running down the hall. But by then it wasn’t just the table that was moving. The whole house swayed! My Dad, who’s been in a earthquake before, explained what was going on. The moving and shaking went on for a while, then slowed and stopped.
After the convulsions ended we talked about where we were and what it felt like when the earthquake struck. Maybe you wouldn’t consider this a special day, but it was special for me.
