The Burrito

It was wedsday night at youth group. The students were engaging in conversations.

Then, Zack; the Youth Group supervisor, said that we’re having a relay race with

something to eat at the end. I had a feeling that it might be something nasty to eat

up. One of my friends Maya said, “I don’t think so. I’m entering.” “Don’t say I didn’t

warn you.” I said.

After selecting teams, the relay race began. There were a total of four teams with

five

people in each group. Of course I didn’t enter. People had to piggyback a person and

back, do leapfrog, wrap a person up in plastic wrap, carry them bridle style, then a

person from each group had to eat a burrito. However there was a catch: each of the

burritos had something in it that doesn’t go in a burrito in the first place! What was

in the burritos were uncooked green beans, asparagus, gummy bears, and canned

corn

and Brussels sprouts! I nearly doubled over in laughter as people hesitated to eat

them. “I knew it! I knew it! It would be bad!” I said in between giggles. Not a lot of

the students wanted to do anything like this anymore I bet. “I’m going to stick to

regular burritos from now on.” Ian, a senior in my school said. “Hey, when they say

you are what you eat, I didn’t expect this.” One boy said. “Yeah, what are you trying

to do Zack, poison us?!” Maya shouted. “ I told you that it would wind up like this.” I

said as I went to get some water for the kids who were throwing up in the trashcans

after eating those terrible burritos. “Don’t do that again Zack.” I warned. “Okay, but I

can’t guarantee it.” Zack said jokingly. Maybe next time, we should force him to eat it.
