Vacation Exaggeration
1. When I complained to Mom over the phone yesterday about the extreme
depths of boredom I had experienced during the first week of my summer exile
to my grandparents' farm, she suggested I think of my grandparents' farm as an
exotic location. "After all," she said, "not everyone gets the opportunity to live
on a farm."
2. That gave me an idea. I decided I would compose my social media status
updates as if I were an illustrious traveler visiting the Serengeti Plain and
making keen observations to my fans about my surroundings. I started early the
next morning.
3.
Alyssa's Status: 5:54 A.M. The glorious male Gallus gallus domesticus,
more commonly known as the rooster, perches himself upon the post.
His delicate feathers glimmer in the sunrise. He flaps his wings twice
and rears back his head. His call clamors through the countryside,
crying out to all creatures that morning has come.

4. To add to my suffering, my best friends were each doing something
exciting. Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her
mother, who is an interior designer working on a project for a famous client in a
big city.
5. But several people had given a thumbs-up to my post, and it was getting
almost the same amount of attention as my friends' posts.
6.
Carlos's Status: 7:39 A.M. I'm about to search for sea turtle nests on
my section of the beach. I hope I find one today!
21 Thumbs Up
7.
Natalia's Status: 11:19 A.M. Which do you think would be a better color
to paint rock star Aaron Slayton's loft apartment: Electric Eclectic
Orange or Superfly Lemon Lime?
28. Thumbs Up
8. As I was thinking of a comment to post on Natalia's page, Grandma
interrupted me.
9. "Put your shoes on, Alyssa. We're heading to Haverford's farm."
Reading
10. "Why?"
11. "It's a summer tradition. On the first Saturday of July, the whole town goes
to Mr. Haverford's place to pick blackberries. If we pick enough, we can make a
blackberry cobbler tonight."
12. Interesting. I typed my next update.
13.
Alyssa's Status: 1:34 P.M. Few events cause more excitement in this
remote part of the world than the ripening of the blackberries, a cause
for celebration among the local inhabitants who make the annual
pilgrimage to a special place known as "Haverford's." After the
festivities have concluded, a ceremonial cobbler—a sweet dessert—is
baked with the ripest of the day's bounty.
18 Thumbs Up
14. Both Carlos and Natalia replied to my post.
15.
Carlos's Reply: 1:39 P.M. Mmm! I love blackberry cobbler! I've never
made it from scratch with freshly picked berries before. Have some for
me!
16.
Natalia's Reply: 1:46 P.M. I can't believe you're staying at a farm! I like
the city, but it's so crowded. I could use some open space and fresh air.
17. Later that evening, after I had eaten two servings of cobbler, I uploaded
photos of the sprawling acreage of Haverford's farm and described in vivid detail
the flavors and textures of the dessert.
18. The next morning I traipsed to the kitchen, where Grandma was busy
making breakfast. She smiled when she saw me.
19. "Good morning, Alyssa," Grandma said as she handed me a glass of freshly
squeezed orange juice. "You know, I was just thinking that today might be a
good day for you to explore the old barn."
20. That had potential for a worthy photo to post online. I could take a picture
of the run-down barn and make up a story—maybe an unsolved mystery. I could
tweak the brightness and contrast settings of the photograph, slightly changing
them to make the picture look eerie.
21. While I was planning this post, Grandma set a heaping plate of pancakes in
front of me. Obviously, I had to post about the perks of having Grandma's home
cooking.
22. After breakfast I went to the barn. I took out my phone so that I could use
it as a flashlight. I heaved the door open and peered inside. Everything was
covered in dirt and cobwebs. Perfect!
Reading
23. Then I heard a whining sound from a corner of the barn and almost vaulted
to the ceiling.
24 I gathered myself and went toward the sound. When I saw what was in one
of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal—baby foxes! They were crawling out
of a hole and then tumbling back down. They were adorable. I probably took a
hundred photos.
25. "Fox kits," Grandma said later when she saw the photographs I had taken.
"I've seen a fox around and wondered if she had a den. You should put one of
these on your social studies page."
26. "Social media, Grandma," I said, correcting her. "And that's a great idea.
Everyone loves cute animals."
27.
Alyssa's Status: 4:47 P.M. Look who decided to make my grandparents'
barn their new home!
28. Within a few minutes I had received several comments from my friends and
a thumbs-up from 25 people.
29.
Natalia's Reply: 5:05 P.M. So cute! The only animals in the city are
giant rats and pigeons.
30.
Carlos's Reply: 5:12 P.M. Wow! Take lots of pictures. They look as
though they're almost old enough to leave their den.
31. I reread the comments. Carlos and Natalia thought my farm adventures
were interesting, and Natalia's reply even had a tinge of jealousy.
32. "What are you smiling about?" Grandma asked.
33. "I—"
34. I was going to say that I was thrilled with all the attention my post had
received, but as the words formed in my brain, I looked at Grandma smiling
back at me.
35. "I'm really glad I'm getting to spend some time at your farm this summer,"
I said. And I meant it.
