The Great Present

Author's Note I wrote this in the basketballs point of view. I choose a basketball because it was one of my favorite christmas presents.

How would you feel if you got bounced around and throw of the rim and a hard plastic backboard? Well that’s how I feel and then they always call me a rock or basketball. That’s what I am that’s not my name though. My real name is Theodore though. Just like they don’t call people, “people” they call them a name like Nick or Justin. I wish that people would understand that I’m not just any basketball I have feelings just like you do.

Also when I was at Sports Authority people would judge me and say I was too small or too big. They would also touch and feel me I mean that’s kind of weird. Even one time someone opened my package and started bouncing me. But then they said I was to flat so they throw me down. The pain of the bouncing was so bad it was like throwing your head against the ground hard over and over. I think I might have even got a minor concussion wow those mean people. A.K.A HATERS.

But then on one special say a mom a came and bought me. She didn’t hurt or feel me but she knew I was the right one for her son. She even complemented me by say I was perfect and the right size. I was just hoping that it would be a nice family. Hopefully they won’t rub and touch me that really creeps me out. Also I hope the kid cleans me and doesn’t get dirty like other basketballs. My brother was a good example they missed the game winner then chucked my brother at a poll the impact was so severe  it popped him…. He died. Then to make it worse the next my girlfriend got sold the day before me I was sad wondering if I would ever see her again…

The day I was always waiting for the time they open me on Christmas day this is my dream coming true. But it also wasn’t also. When he opened me he was excited then did what I wished he hadn’t ripped me open and was feeling me. AHHHHH…. I wanted to scream my leather right off. But I couldn’t. They were nice but the just kept dribbling and feeling me.

But in the long run things have been good. He has been very nice to me and has cleaned me. He took good care of me.
