What do you think of my story?
Question by Anna: What do you think of my story?
My life is… Different, weird, strange, peculiar, and fabulous! Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of problems, but my mom and I find a way to get through them, one way or another. I never thought we would come across a problem that lead to pure hatred, but apparently I was totally and completely wrong. . . Or was I!?!?
9 am in the morning, and I’m still not up, I’m such a rebel! I need to get up and help my mom feed my baby brother Drew. I actually enjoy it, although he does cry a lot, my mom and I get to bond whenever we’re together like that, when nobody else is around, except for Drew of course, but he’s just a baby!
My mom had me when she was 16 years old, so she is more like my best friend, than my mother, which is really cool. Now, I’m 15 and she’s 31, almost 32, and our life has been probably the most fun filled ever!
I rolled myself out of my bed, and through my purple and white polka dots sheets over the right side of the bed, where I was sleeping. In our house, we call that making our beds. “Hi, mom, are the pop tarts in the toaster,” I asked.
“Oh yeah, you think I would forget, yeah right. Drew is sleeping right now, so its just you and me, any ideas on what we should do,” mom asked me, while taking the pop tarts out of the toaster and into napkins. If there is one thing I absolutely know about my mom, is that she is a total and complete slob!
“We should watch Funny People again, it is so hilarious,” I laughed! I know what you’re thinking, what am I doing, watching an R rated movie, at 15 years old. The truth is my mom will let me watch anything, not because she doesn’t care, but because she knows she can trust me. So, every Saturday night we go online and look up, “the worst movies list,” and we go down it, 1 by 1, we’re now on #13, and that was Funny People! Just saying the title makes me want to laugh out loud.
The movie went by quick, and by the time it was over it was noon, and I was still in my pajamas, so was mom. Drew wasn’t, he was formally dressed in a polo shirt and camouflage jeans. Can you believe it, a baby dressed before two woman older than him, who are so very capable of moving, walking, talking, and of course picking out clothes.
I ran up stairs and picked out a pink
“Roof, roof, rooooooff,” cried the dog next door.
“ Oh, shut up, stupid dog, I really can’t take it, I already listen to whining 24-7, and I personally can’t take anymore of it,” Erica complained to herself. Mom, we have to go shopping today! It’s really important, we don’t have anything, but milk, and what are we really going to do with that?”
“ I’m so sorry, err , but I am having lunch with… a colleague from work, can you go out and buy stuff, I trust your taste completely,” begged mom.
“ What about Drew, I can’t just leave him home alone, do I have to grandma to come and watch him,” I questioned my mother. I predicted that mom, (Elena is her real name) would go nuts if I asked grandma and grandpa to come over and watch him. ( See, Elena and her parents, Annabelle and Howard did not get along that well in her childhood, which ended very early. You would think that Elena’s unexpected, and careless pregnancy was the hardship that tore the family apart, but it was really the dark day, when Elena was 11 that she figured out that her mom, was cheating on her dad, with one of her business colleagues, which it actually was… Mr. Gilbert, he was always staring at my mom, at bring you kid to work day, but I had never thought that she would have an affair with him! She was on her way to tell her dad, when Mr. Gilbert came running out, and threatened to fire her mom, and make her life miserable. Elena knew since her dad didn’t work that her family would be broke, and god knows what would happen next, so she backed off, and never spoke to her mother again, which in the long run, led to Ericka. Elena would always tell Ericka that she never wanted her to have the life she had, 3 words disappointment, hatred, and regret.)
“No need to do that, just take the baby with you, it’ll be good exercise too,” mom said nervously, trying to convince me not to call Grandma and tell her where we live. Yes, that’s right, her own mother and father don’t know where mom, Drew and I live.
“Fine. Since when do you care so much about me getting exercise,” I asked confusedly.
“ I just care about you. Don’t you know that, and if I didn’t you wouldn’t have all of those stylish clothes in your closet,” mom persisted. It was typical of mom to pool the “because I care about you card” on any of her accuses I get suspicious about. I was starting to get a little angry cause I was planning on going out with my friends today, but it can always wait, I guess?
“I have to go, but I’ll be home in time to watch Drew

Sorry, I didn’t really find it interesting. It felt like listening in on a 13 year old girls conversation with a friend. Don’t really like the writing style either… sorry don’t want to discourage you. Keep trying.
