What happened to me on the train

(this may be the only true story on this website viewer descression is advised)

This story is about what happened to me in 2nd or third grade when I was on a train for the first time.


This real life tragic event happened when I was in 2nd grade I think. Me and my family were going to Chicago on vacation. We had just arrived at the train station and we were waiting for the train to arrive. We heard the train then saw it from a distance. We all got onto the train and my mom had the tickets so she waited for the conductor to come by and scan the tickets. He got up to me to scan my ticket. His scanner went over my ticket then beeped and flashed red. He thought he would play a trick on me because my ticket didn't scan correctly so this 40-50 year old man looks down at me and say uh-oh. I look back with terror in my eyes. I have no clue what the beep means because I'm only in second grade. The conductor then says to me " that's not good. If you don't have a ticket you can't ride the train". "It's ok we can just kick you off the train at the next stop". I look at my mom and dad to see them just laughing and giggling so I start laughing. Then the conductor says " It's not a laughing matter young man if you don't pay for your ticket you have to be kicked off the train". Me now realizing this is serious and I might have to get off the train and live as a hobo starts crying. I just balled my eyes out. someone probably thought I had just lost an arm because I was just freaking out. I didn't calm down even a little bit until the conductor reassured me my ticket was fine and I could stay with my family. I finally calmed down and was able to stay calm. I swore vengeance on that mean old conductor that from that day on I would never step foot on a train again. ( This next sentence is not real... Yet I still wish it happened )The train later derailed and only 1 survived and it was not the conductor. That was the best day of my life.
