I woke up in my day clothes. I take a peek outside. What? Where is the sun? Where are the birds singing and flying in the air? Confused, I went downstairs for breakfast. What? Dinner on the table? WHAT? It's McDonald's? My mom exclaims that I am going to be late for school. She tells me, "GO PUT YOUR PAJAMAS ON YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE!!" I go upstairs and put my pajamas on? Weird. I got to school and figured out that it was Friday and there was no school. My mom told me that school was on Saturday and Sunday. I went home at 7:30 am, put on my day clothes? And went to bed at 6:00 am.

Next I would have to go to School. Now I have to go to a boys and girls club. Then make a trip to the store with my mom. Last, I went to sleep all in the morning at 5:00 am so I was grumpy.

It all started when I woke up and I rushed to get dressed for school. As soon as I got my socks, my mother called out dinner. At first, I thought she meant to say breakfast, but when I got out of my room, I saw pizza on the table. I rubbed my eyes to make sure what I was seeing was real, but the pizza was still there and right on top of the table. I ate dinner with my dad also my mom, and my sister, then I realized that my dad would have to be at work at this time in the morning, but after a while, I got my shoes on to go to the store, then after the store, we had to go drop my sister off at school. Then my mom and I had to go to school. When we got to school, we had to get unpacked, and then we did science. After science, we had to go to lunch. At first, I thought this was a prank, but when I checked the time, I froze in shock. I made sure I was in a dream by making myself dizzy, but then the day came by fast, and it turned 7:30, and I had to get ready to go home. After I got home, I ate breakfast: waffles and eggs. After dinner, I did my homework and had to go to bed. I was still confused, why I'm going to bed, but I remembered that it was back wards day, and I was still in disbelief that the day was backward. I woke up in the morning, and the first thing I did was check the time. It was 6:00. I jumped up and down in excitement and got ready for school.

If my day went back in time I would be scared and I would just do my thing and every thing will be normal again. Also I would look out the window to find out its night time and it will probably be a dream and there will be a tornado. Also it would be scary because I just woke up and there's a tornado out my window. Next, I would tell my family and we would go somewhere safe and maybe a different state very far from our house. Last, we would get a hotel until the tornado leaves.

I woke up to the clock reading 12:00 AM, and I went back to bed like nothing. And then I woke up again to see the clock read 5:34 PM. I panicked, thinking I just missed the first day of school. But then I realized it was actually 5:33 PM. I was confused, but I ran to my closet

Dressed in my school uniform, I stepped outside, hoping I wouldn’t time-travel to the 1800s. On my way, I saw Oliver, Zip, and Edward, the school bullies, who surprisingly ignored me. I must have hit the invisible button; either that or they discovered birdwatching.

In class, I aced an exam despite not studying, definitely some strange luck, I'll tell you that. I reconnected with my friend Abbie, who introduced me to Claire, and we all looked as confused as if we’d just walked into a meeting without knowing what it was about.

At lunch, I chose pizza and sat with Abbie and Claire, talking about the most random things imaginable. Finally, I returned home at 7:30 AM, where breakfast was being made, time warp alert! I thought about how I’d ended up in a world where everything happened in reverse.

Weirdly, I wake up on the wrong side of the bed. I float up to the ceiling in a panic. Next, I glide to the kitchen and it's hard because of my condition. I go to school with my hand tied to a bike to keep me from floating away. By the time I get to school, I'm late because of my condition. I try not to be noticed with my gigantic shoes that practically glued me to the ground. I watched quietly, as other children bounced around like a ball of energy. After school, I took my enormous shoes off and glided to my room. I lay down on my newly made "ceiling bed" and go to sleep. It's morning except, yesterday was Friday and today is Thursday!

My Day in Reverse

rtabel50810 — 2025-09-08 17:17:37 UTC

First, I wake up at night and have breakfast for dinner. Then, I go upstairs and take a shower before school and then I choose my shirt and shorts. And then I get in the car and go to school. When, I get to school I start by doing my planner and we write our homework for the night. After that, me and my class did science experiments and, we learned about matter and things made of matter and, different forms of matter. And then, my class goes to lunch and eats chicken nuggets after science. After that, we start getting ready for math and, we are doing 2 digits by 2 digits. After that, we start by getting out our writing stuff like our pencil, writing notebook, and our Chromebook if we need it. And then, we do mile Monday we have to get under 15 minutes but if you want to get a 4 you have to get under 12 minutes. And then, we go to recess after PE, I usually play volleyball at recess. Finally, we go home at 7:30 I get in the car and tell my mom " Today felt like a really weird day". That was my Day in Reverse.

Today I woke up in the night, which was fine, and I heard my mom cooking i thout the was dinner, no it was breakfast. In the night. Also, my dad was young, and my mom too, but I was old. I went outside the grass and trees were gone; instead of grass, there was sand, and no trees. Next, I went and ran well, walked, and it was in the sky, the birds were walking, the cats and dogs were flying, and I saw a farm instead of cows, pigs, and chickens; there were dragons, dinosaurs, and enormous lizards, and that was the day that everything was backwards DONE

I woke up and I saw that it was still nighttime, so I went to go down stairs to see what time it was and it was ten pm. I thought isn't suppose to be morning time. I told my mom "Why did you make me dinner?" She said because it is night time, but yesterday when we went to bed it was 10pm and it is still 10pm. I asked her "Is our day going backwards?" She said maybe it is. Next, when I went to school we were learning math and it felt so wierd because my day was backwards. After lunch we always play, but since my day was going backwards we played before we ate lunch. Then, when I came home I took a shower and went to bed. Done.

I woke up yet it was still dark out. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom making soup when my mom called me for breakfast I was very confused because soup was a dinner not breakfast. After that we went to my soccer practice witch I thought was weird. Soccer before school. I knew something was wrong after my soccer practice I went to school and when I got to school we were doing science which we usually did at the end of the day. After that I went to recess at recess I played kick ball but everyone was running to third base first and not first base. After recess we did math and we learned about multiplication. After math we went home because it was a short day when I got home breakfast was done after breakfast I went to sleep. When I woke up everything was back to normal. What a dream.

I wake up to my mother yelling "put on ur Pajamas!" I was SO confused I got up threw on some clothes and peaked around the corner. I stare and the window in shock, I fell to my knees and felt and dizzy. The moon is out and its pitch black! I yell for my mom... No answer I grab my backpack and pull myself out the door. And run out the door. FEW I mutter to myself "m-mom dosen't anything seem different to you?" she just shrugs and gives me that quiet face. I sit down in the comfy seat, time to think about what the HECK is going on here!!! there is no possible way this can't be real! I smack myself over and over and my mom just watched me in surprise. When I got to school the teachers brought us in through the gate. at lunch all my friends are sitting there looking possessed. during math Mrs Arias drank soap for coffee. "yep definitely looney" I say and the yard dutys just kept saying ''blurp blurp" '"weird" samyra says.

when I get home my little brother seems to be talking in reverse. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STATRED ON MY DOGS. Im staring at them, its like there humans on legs '.....' I stare as they pick up there water bowl and drink it like a human. and toss and turn in bed and I realize m-my day is is.... just another day at the Irick house. DONE

It all started when I woke up. I went to the kitchen my mom was in there with my dinner I ate waited 1 hour then I went outside and played with Harry Potter, Batman, and spider-man. When we were out side we teleported to the park thanks to Harry potter. At the park we played super hero tag because I'm the flash.Then we played super hero hid and seek and Batman won because he had the best hiding spot and got found last. Then after that Harry Potter teleported me home to eat lunch.After I ate lunch I waited for my stomach to settle with the food so I watched TV for 1 hour.After my stomach settled down I called Harry Potter when the were playing tag to come teleport me back to the park and he did and I said thank you.After I got there I got tagged by Batman so then I tried to tag spider man but he hidden really good so I tagged harry Potter when he didn't expect me tagging him so I had time to get a really good hiding spot. then Harry Potter tagged spider man. After he tagged him he teleported me home to eat breakfast.After I ate breakfast I watched TV for 1 or 2 hours then I went to my room then I went to sleep. that's what happened in my backwards day.

I wake up and I think about opening my blind for some light but I don't. Then I get ready for school and I go downstairs. I grab my backpack and wait for my mom to come downstairs. After a while she doesn't come and I start to head upstairs but I hear footsteps so I stop.Once I stop I glance at the window above the staircase and notice how dark it is. I check my watch and it is 6:40.

The footsteps sound louder which means my sister, Ryn, is coming downstairs so I ask, "Why is it so dark?! And why haven't we left yet??!". She looks at me in question. "What do you mean, leave?" She is holding a few books and some papers. We walk to the dining table and she gestures for me to sit down. "Okay, flip to page. . " I interrupt her and blurt out "WHY AM I BEING HOMESCHOOLED?!"

She looks up in surprise."What do you mean? You've always been homeschooled." So I started to play along. "Right,right. Sorry I was dreaming about going to school."

Later, around lunch time, or midnight in this case Ryn said," Okay, break time!" I check my watch because it is still dark outside. "It's twelve o' clock?!" She nodded. I went to the fridge and grabbed bread, lunch meat, cheese and made a sandwich. "Why are you making a sandwich for lunch?" my judgy sister asked. "What do you mean?" She got up and grabbed some cereal. "

"So. . Where's mom and dad?"

"I think dad is still asleep and mom is at work." I paused and thought. "But mom stays at home and dad goes to work." I said, confused.

After that I pretended to read a book that was written BACKWARDS?! Soon the moon went down and the sun started to rise."The moon is setting; it's getting late, what do you want for breakfast?" I continue to play along and say," Umm. . Dad taught you to make french toast, right?" I wanted to make the most of this odd day so I took advantage of my sister to make french toast. . for dinner.
