“Are you ready, kids?” The animated pirate on the flat screen T.V. boomed. The house was ringing with the television show, SpongeBob Square-Pants. I was in the living room, along with my Aunt Shannon, my Aunt Jessie, and my Nana. My family was really just a bunch of children; watching SpongeBob isn’t regular for a family without a small child. My aunts were talking amongst themselves, leaving Nana out of the conversation. I’m about 99.9% certain that they’ve already seen this episode. We all really like T.V. way too much. SpongeBob is both my mum’s and my aunts’ favorite children’s cartoon. Although, I’m not a big fan myself. The television paused, making me scoff. I whipped my head to the plaid couch that my aunts and grandma were on. …show more content…
She quickly turned to me, her eyes blazing with anticipation and her eyebrows trying their hardest to stay straight. Obviously, that didn’t work, considering I could see them shaking. “I have… er, something to tell you.” Shannon stretched out the spaces in between her words. This wasn’t good. Shannon rarely did that. “Yeah, what?” I asked. teeth clenched and eyebrows furrowed. I was trying to brace myself for the worst possible news. What if she was moving? What if she was suicidal, and had been cutting, and has never decided to tell anyone but now? No. I shouldn’t be thinking like this. Oh, but I really was thinking like this. But really; she is definitely not suicidal. She’s always so happy! I could feel the sweat beading on the top of my forehead. I contained my lips from quivering, waiting for her to open her mouth and tell me what has gotten her so worked up. I felt my eyes get moist from the tears threatening to spill down my chubby cheeks. I had been working on not crying, but thinking of Shannon dying… that was too much for a third …show more content…
I gave myself a mental tissue to wipe the pre-tears. Thank God. But, thinking about the new situation, I realized it was still pretty bad. Not as bad as Shannon dying, though! I’m so selfish! But if she really was pregnant, that would mean I’d have a baby cousin. I wouldn’t be the center of attention anymore. Heck, I wouldn’t get any attention. I bet even my mum wouldn’t care about me anymore! “Do not tell Nana.” The words slowly entered my brain. I understand, though, that this was important to Shannon. She was going to have a... baby child thing. A bald beast. Can mothers give birth to babies with hair? I had hair as a baby, so probably. I decided at long last that I wouldn’t tell my grandma. Or anyone. But, I was going to have some fun with this.
“Eh, I pro’lly won’t, but I can’t make any promises,” I lied, holding back the smirk from appearing on my face. This was going to be fun. I was a genius; a pure genius. Thinking about how smart I was made me chuckle. To my surprise, Shannon still believed my
“You’re being silly about Jake. There are bigger things to worry about.” Nell felt her throat go dry as she fought tears. “Oh, Nell, I’m sorry,” Emma said.
She was normally super shy and worried about a lot of things. Mom, Dad and Charlie all were shocked at how crazy she had been acting. Even with all of the craziness, Charlie could tell she was nervous. “Don’t worry Scar, we are going to have a the time of our lives” he told his sister as he nodded in reassurance. Charlie was a very intelligent young man.
I would meet her saying, Mother forgive. Please forgive” (Monk Kidd, 3). Not knowing the truth about her mother was part of her ignorance of knowing a better life available to
"I'm not sure if your silence is making matters better or worse," Moira said as they stared across the crowded desk at each other. "Sorry. Something else crossed my mind. You're not the only one experiencing unusual events during the past couple of days." Eager for him to continue, Moira looked on with interest.
"I forget," she said. "Something real sad on television." "What was it?" he said. "It's all kind of mixed up in my mind," said Hazel.
I sat on the porch of my house, overseeing the town. Stamps, or also known as the Black Stamps, had segregation. From schools to shops, everywhere blacks were seen less than whites. It limited what we could do, affecting all of our lives. That apparently, was not abnormal in the United States at the time.
Charlotte looked at me slowly and replied, in a quiet and guarded voice. “Liv, I wasn’t lying. I really do have
“that’s suppose to my cotton candy,” she mumbled out, her voice laden with sleep. she turned her head, pressing her cheek into the bench. “but you can lose your teeth,” she added nonchalantly. half listening to the rest of ludo’s and rosie’s conversation. more focused on the happenings around them.
“Why would you want to do this?” Asked Mum. “Come on Nellie, this is what 's best for our family. What do you say, in a month or so we get on that trail and we go to Oregon!” Pop explained.
My Theme Song Songs can connect with how we feel and our experiences. Music has been a major part of my life ever since I was just a toddler. For me music has helped me express what I am feeling and who I am as a person. My therapy has been music, it has helped me through almost every problem I have faced. With listening to the song lyrics, we can get a true understanding of what the artist is trying to tell us.
It feels like she is growing everyday Inside of me, she started kicking last week. I think John found out that I am pregnant, I didn’t tell him because I thought he would get upset. Ever since the affair, we have not been as close. When it’s time for me to get killed the baby is going to get raised with John, but I know he will love her and raise her well. If I could go back in time I would have told John that I was pregnant and she is a girl and I am going to name her Liz just like my mother, I know my mother would have loved to meet her.
My mother entered my bedroom and immediately her face widened in absolute shock. “What did you do?” I froze, panicked. I had been discovered. Twelve-year-old me was sitting on the bedroom floor when she had come in.
“Dinner is ready!” my mother shouts for the third time while I sit in front of the television at 7 years old mesmerized by SpongeBob and Patrick on their quest to Shell City. While watching I felt as if every other thing in the room was
When women are pregnant they are not allowed to talk about it because just in case the baby had a deviation. “One did not dare to announce a birth, until the child had been officially examined and approved.” Says David explaining that woman did not announce that they are pregnant. (Wyndham #67). This displays that woman have no right to talk about them being pregnant because if anyone found out that the baby had a deviation.
Caused me so much psychological troubles! It would be very difficult situation if she or one of her family come back suddenly. What can I say at this moment
