The Lesson I Learned

I was playing games on the gamcube of course. I believed it was animal crossing, since the gamecube was brand new after all. I was running to Tom Nook around making money to pay for my house, just as I was about to speak to him...my mom cried, "Bethany go to sleep" in Chinese.

"But I don't want to I'm playing games right now", I cried as I was selling a 15k fish to Nook.

She walked down the stairs carrying a baby in her stomach. I was going to save the game but then my mom just shut off the game. I screamed and threw a fit, the nastiest one I've ever made, But she stopped me and all she said was,"Sleep in the Garage".

A burst of tears came flying as I screamed,"BUT I DON'T WANT TOO!"

I followed her to the garage. Inside was dirty, dark and it scared me. The smell was moist since there was water leaking. I turned around and stared at my mom's angry face but she had a smirk on her face. I thought it was the devils face and as I stepped in the garage she called my brother. He stared at me and laughed then Still crying I stared at my mom who said,"Are you really going in there to sleep."

I was confused as a just stared. I wanted to say something but when I opened my mouth no words came out. Mom said,"Bethany you sometimes have to stand up for yourself or you will be weak all your life".

I stared at her then wiped my tears and said,"I will sleep now and promise to listen to you more often and not throw fits".
