Wet Dog and Volleyball

Today we did school and waited for volleyball practice.  On are way to practice we talked for a minute and my dad said "I have never seen the water so low," and my sister said, "IT'S LOW TIDE!"  I laughed at this because just about every time we drive by the ocean it is low tide and somebody always asks why the water is so low and my dad says, "IT IS LOW TIDE!  WHY CAN YOU NOT JUST GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD?!"  So we had a whole conversation about that at the table while eating dinner.  In the first practice (12-14 year olds) I felt like an idiot because it is hard to understand New Zealand accents because they talk really fast.  I realized that we Americans talk very slow compared to these people.  Anyway he told me a couple of things that I just could not make out.  Finally I figured it out.  People just don't care about practice here and they do not try hard.  In the second practice (15-17 year olds) it was better and I could understand.  The team I played with during the tournament was supposed to go to one court and play with the team I will be playing with this week.  It was good because I did not really want to play with all the boys and girls who did not care enough.  Brazilians were there too and they just kicked the ball like a soccer ball the whole time.  This practice was way more fun.  When we got home my dad was making dinner.  We had pineapple, pork, weird vegetables,  and rolls.  It was all very good but when I was cutting my pineapple into parts one decided to fly off my plate and onto the ground.  So I picked it up and put it on my brothers plate.  He could not figure out which piece it was until he asked if it was the one with the hair on it.  So he put it back on my plate.  So we were talking and I had just finished my pineapple and I look down and see all the pineapple eaten.  That includes the piece that fell on the ground.  So when I said that I think half the people at the table choked.  My mom said this was funny because of the face I was making and the way I said it.  For dessert we had this little pie thing with fruit on it.  When we ate it it had the taste of how wet dog smelled.  So I just gulped it down as fast as I could because I liked the outside and the inside just not the middle.  Later I just ate strawberries.  I never thought I was going to get a brain freeze from a strawberry.  Also channel two has some of the best shows I have ever seen.  This one show called Revenge is really good and I am excited because tomorrow night it comes on and I think someone dies.  Not happy about the dying part but the fact that it comes on tomorrow.
