Revised Non-fiction piece
One day when I was five years old, I decided to go to my Paw-Paw's fishing dock with my dad. I was with him, my brother, and my sister. Before we arrived when we were in the boat, my hat flew off. That made my dad a little upset because he was telling me to take it off so it wouldn't fly away. When we finally arrived to the dock, we all walked to the covered area. In it was a couch, a T.V., a refrigerator, and a shower. I was bored as my dad and Paw-Paw were talking amongst themselves, I decided to sit at the edge of the dock and let my feet hang over. I noticed a dead fish pass by, so I lifted my feet up and leaned over the dock. I started poking the fish. Everyone was still inside talking to each other and watching T.V. My dad noticed what I was doing and told me to stop because I would fall in. I disagreed with him and told him I wouldn't. I kept poking the fish, ignoring what my dad had continuously told me. I was poking the fish for a while which made it move further from me so I had to reach far just to poke it. I guess it was too far away because I couldn't reach it. I tried my hardest, but I couldn't, and found myself in the water. The water was deep, and I was only five years old so I couldn't swim. The mud underneath my feet wasn't helping because every now and then my feet would get stuck in it. There was a big electrical box right by me, and I was really scared to go by it. A few moments later I saw my brother running toward me in the water. He picked me up out of the water and put me back on the dock. He was about thirteen years old back then. After that I had to go rinse off in the shower and get my clothes washed. My brother had to do the same. I think my dad was really upset with me for not listening to him again. For some reason, every time my parents tell me something is going to happen to me, I ignore them and it does happen. Still to this day, I'm stubborn and don't listen when they tell me something. I should start listening to my parents when they tell me to do something or not to. But kids are supposed to give their parents a hard time right? Well, that's why you shouldn't poke dead fish!
