Double Decker Rainbow
Language: English
Well…well, what’s happening now is I'm excited to go to England. And to meet my grandma's old friend. I think my mom has it all planned out so I'm not 100% sure what else we will do. My brother and my dad will go to a fancy sneaker store just to look around. But I know I know I want to… I want to ride on a double decker bus. I have always loved them. It’s like: there’s the bottom! And then the top! And it’s just so cool! It’s like: are there STAIRS? are there STAIRS. IN. the bus? It's so confusing, but so amazing. like a miniature house on wheels… but not… but, YES! And I wonder: are they all red? I don’t think so… but they should be. Or, maybe, it’s like a parade of: one’s red! one’s orange! one’s yellow! and it’s a whole rainbow and they just drive together with a bunch of people on them and it’s like… It’s a double decker rainbow.
