A Full Mouth
Russia |
When I was 2 years old, the younger sister appeared in my life. It was in the morning. Grandmother and grandfather prepared everything, laid the table and we were waiting for arrival of mom, dad and newly born sister at home.
Suddenly the bell rang and we rushed to the door. Dad came first with my sister on his hands wrapped in blanket. I was delighted. Parents came in the room and put sister on bed. She was very tiny. Soon she fell asleep. I thought she was a doll, because she was very small. I began to climb to her. All were frightened and took me from her. We went to eat. I ate very quickly and ran to the room to see my sister. She opened her tiny eyes and looked at me attentively. I thought that she wanted to eat. I ran to the kitchen, took several pies, returned and began to feed the child. She started to cry.
All adults ran from the kitchen and were frightened to see my sister with filled mouth. Mum scolded me but not very strong. In fact, I was small too. In my childhood I went to different clubs: gymnastics, dances, drawing, English. I liked them and had very good success. I danced on different competitions. I also participated in many gymnastics competitions and took first places. But then the teacher left our club and I gave up gymnastics. Now I regret about it very much because I understand I had a good chance to have some category. Also now I understand that it is good if your parents make you busy with clubs during childhood. You develop better and do not spend time on unnecessary things. |
