The One With the Shark Under the Bed

Date: 7/17/2024

I'm in a car with my mom, Tita Vicki, and someone else (possibly Renee) when I start packing a lunchbox with soda cans. I add several Cokes and Sprites and look at Tita Vicki, who I’m apparently packing them for before she goes to housesit for someone. I suddenly feel bad for giving her these because I’m vaguely aware that she might be starting a new diet of some sort. I listen as she explains to all of us how you have to swim through a fake shark head to get to the house she’s going to. I say something about how I couldn’t do this even if I knew the head was fake. At some point, we all end up in a large bedroom with Silvia Adelman, whose house we’re apparently in. Silvia somehow picks the bed up off the floor and reveals the ocean beneath it. I see the fake shark head and watch as Tita Vicki dives in to swim to it.
