Wills Taco Dinner
I just finished homework and around dinner I smelled something strange around our yellow house.  I smelled something spicy, almost too spicy for my mouth to handle.  I thought nothing was too spicy.  I call myself FE for iron stomach (FE is iron on the periodic table of elements). 
I followed the smell to the kitchen and found my mom making tacos.  They were set up nice on the table.  I went to the table to try one. I thought it seemed gross; the way the food looked, but it looked so good.  I said no, but my stomach said yes.  I took a big bite until I went to heaven.  One taco after another; I felt like there was one Mexican thing missing.  It was peppers! I grabbed some pep’s, which is my nickname for hot pepper, put on my sixth taco and bit it. That’s when my mouth was screaming with pain, but I was silent. 
I see a nice of glass of milk my mom is pouring into my little sisters cup.  I race over and grab the cup and five seconds later there is nothing left in the cup.  My mom asked me why I did that and I said, in my breath, spicy”!
After the food I thought to myself that it is good to try new food, especially Mexican food.  Now I have a new favorite food.J
