My Favorite Backward Day
By Susheel P., Contest #200901:

Backward Day was here and it was January 31st, a day when you're supposed to do everything backwards. First of all I woke up backwards, instead of waking up straight. I walked to the bathroom backwards too. To brush, I didn’t face the mirror and brushed with the other side of the brush. I also took a bath backwards and often heard cracks on my back because I was bending backwards.

The most tragic event that happened to me today was that I was walking down the stairs when my dad told me to wake up my brother. So I walked back up the stairs and woke him up. Then when I was walking backwards down the stairs, I fell. Luckily there were pillows at the bottom of the stairs and that's where I landed.

When my dad heard the racket he shouted, “What's going on?"

I tried telling him that it was Backward Day but he didn't want to hear about it.

The rest of the day I kept walking, talking and even writing backwards. The assignments we did in school the teachers threw away. Mostly the rest of the day was fun and amazing.
