I realized that I wasn’t really good at anything.Then it hit me!I ran to the bathroom and filled up the tub with water.I had decided to be “the person who took the world’s longest bath”.It was perfect because all I had to do was sit there.

　　I entered the tub at 5 o’clock on a Friday evening.The first three hours went great.I drank soda and ate potato chips.Being in the water so long wrinkled my hands and feet and made me look like I was 80.But I was determined.

　　At 8:45 my brother shouted through the bathroom door that the record for the longest bath was more than a month and that there was also a record for most rattlesnakes with a human in a bathtub.

　　Feeling rejected,I got out.Maybe I’ll never be in the Guinness book of World Records.But that’s OK.I am still special.Besides,I have more important things to do than sit in a bathtub for a month!
