An Emotional Rollercoaster

(My cousin invites me to go with her and her family to a theme park so I say yes.)

Me: “How exciting! I love going on the roller coasters!”

Cousin: “You’re brave. Those scare me.”

Me: “You’re not going on them? Oh, come on!”

(I try threatening her, cajoling her, even begging. Finally, she says ok and we get in line.)

Me: “You’re shaking.”

Cousin: *freaking out* “I know. I don’t wanna go!”

(We finally get to the front after 30 minutes. I expect her to bolt, but she actually gets on. Five minutes later, the ride is over and we both get out.)

Me: “Are you okay?”

Cousin: *nods, looking pale*

Me: “That was fun wasn’t it?”

Cousin: “…I wanna go again.”

(We got back in line!)
