Five Senses, Minus one


Wow this is a hard question and quite frankly I don't know. Which sense would I give up? Sight- I need it to see what I'm doing and what I'm eating. Hearing- I need to hear all the gossip that goes. Taste- I need to taste my food. Smell- well I need to smell the food that people cook. Touch- I need to touch my food. I really don't know which to give up. I might give up hearing but if I had to give up something I wont


BONUS

A DAY WITHOUT MY HEARING

I remember the first time I lost my hearing. I was traveling to Texas to visit my grandparents. We took a break at a gas station. I went to go get a drink and to use the bathroom. Once I bought my drink I walked into a dirty bathroom. I did my business and went to wash my hands. As I went to wet my face water had gotten in my ear. I had noticed the water had been super dirty. I felt my ears getting huge as if a bee stung my ears. I ran out the bathroom and ran to my mom. I told her my ears were hurting me and I waited for an answer. I stood waiting for like a solid 3 minutes. My mom shook me. But I still didn't hear an answer. I told her again but louder. Then I did something I would never do. I did some thinking. I asked my mom to grab my a paper and a pen. On that paper and pen I told her I couldn't hear a word she was saying and to hurry and take me to grandmas house. She took the drivers seat and drove off (with me inside). Mom was driving past speed limit because the wind was my blowing back my lips and face. I couldn't even talk. My mom had stopped by a pharmacy on the way and got me that ear medicine stuff that doesnt do anything. She dropped 2 drops of liquid into both my ears and shook them a bit. Any way to make the story short when we finally reached my grandparents house my ears started to clear up and the sweeling reduced. In minutes I could hear again. And thats the story of how I lost my hearing for a day.
