ANOTHER CROC CRUISE When Mom and Dad appeared they just walked casually toward us. I could tell they were trying not to smile; they mustn't have seen the croc. Dad clicked his key to unlock the car. I let Charlie climb down from the roof first. We both got into the car real fast. I thought Mom and Dad would cry and carry on because they came so close to losing their sons to a man-eating monster, but no ... I was wrong. Once they were in the car, Dad laughed and then Mom laughed. Dad turned round to us and said, "I wish I'd recorded that. I've never seen you two run so fast." What a psycho! I couldn't believe my ears. "I could've been eaten!" I screamed. "That croc should be shot." Dad laughed again. "Even if there was a croc ... it couldn't chase you very far on land." Charlie and me got real angry. We told him that it did chase us, but he still thought it was funny and Mom was already reading her book because obviously it was more exciting than the fact her favorite son had just been chased by a killer monster.
