Truly Amazing Childhood... in Emojis ✨

Creative writing assignment (Year 6-9): write your own story with a large collection of emoji pictures. Here is mine!

I used ☠️ my younger cousin's 👶 entire year's savings 💰to purchase a turtle 🐢. This was one 1️⃣ of my first successful 👍 live projects 📌. Then proceeded ⚙️ by the snail 🐌 community 🏘️ I built 🔨.

Next I cut out ✂️ a window 🪟 and a door 🚪from a used up ♻️ mini pack 📦 to accommodate my new friends, the ants 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜... I learnt 💡about the trail they left when one 1️⃣ of them discovers food 🥘. I found one 1️⃣ of these invisible 🕶️ scented 👃 trails and then dropped 💧a grain of sugar 🧊, which I "breadcrumbed" 🍪 to the specially designed 🏗️ ant house 🐜🛖.

Soon afterwards my mother 👱 beat 🏏 the living day light 🌘 out of me 🤕when she found out a pigeon 🕊️ which lived in my bedroom 🛌. But I  went on 🚶another interesting adventure 🤠 to a lake ☱ 4️⃣ 5️⃣ -minute walk 👣 from the house 🏡 to catch 🪝 fish 🎣.

A red 🟥 kitten🐈 was the last 🪦 animal I kept in my room (okay 👌, apart from the 3️⃣ cute featherless birdies 🐣🐣🐣 that got me in trouble 💩 by screaming too loud 🔊 when my dad 👨 walked in, having learnt 💡the sound 🛎️ of my door 🚪means food 🥘).

I know as I began to grow up, my taste for petty creatures 👾💀🗿👻🦄 began to dim 🔅. My company began to change. I was saving to buy💲a fairly used ♻️ Sega Drive 🕹️. But my parents 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️ refused ⛔ to buy me any gaming consoles 🎮 because they felt they'd distract 😕 my education 🏫.

Finally, at the age of 15 I gave my turtle 🐢 out as valentines 💕 gift 🎁 to a girl 👧🏼 (a sylph 🧚 really) I absolutely loved 💘 (had a gigantic crush 💜). This became a landmark📍in my life as I began to make senseless  sacrifices (🌈, 📕, 💎,🍬,🍓,🌹,🍧, 📼,🎁,🍷 - you name it!) to her later on but the turtle 🐢 came back 🪃 to me after she became... my wife 💑❗

Ella, my wife!
