Personal Narrative: You Better Think About It

Improved Essays
“You Better Think About it” “You better think about it.” My mom’s voice always stays in my mind. The unhappiness is always filled in everyone’s life, especially at the time when we argue with someone. Usually people do not want to argue with someone else; they might feel that is boring or make them angry. I usually do not like to argue because, as an inarticulate person, it is too hard to convince someone of anything. I do not ever win any argument at all, except one time with my mom when I was four years old, and I got “buffed” by the confusion of toy. When I was only four years old, I wanted to have a toy that was very popular and most of my friends and my classmates have, because it is an advanced toy, it can be disassembled and assembled. …show more content…
How is she knowing everything that I think about?” At the same time, I murmured, “The newest and most popular toy, that is what I want.”
And then, my mom was smiling and not talking. But I felt a bit scary. Later, my guess was not wrong, not only I did not get what I wanted, but also get a five-minute-tuition.
“Again? I just bought you two toys yesterday and you want another one today? Toys are not good for you. I am not opposing you to have toys unlike other moms would never buy toys to their children, but you already have a lot, you can choose another thing that you want!......You better think about it.” My mom “tutored”

You can return them and buy the toy that I want. The new toy is a popular toy so I can share the toy with my classmates, and that is the toy most of my classmates have.” After saying these words, she did not seem like have any reactions, and I replenished, “I get full scores of Math, and I am the only one who gets full score in my class. The test was not easy.I should get rewarded! Please buy the toy for me! Please? Mom?”I am always very respectful to my mom, but maybe because of the toy, my mind have gotten confused. And that was the first time in my memory that I contradicted to my mom.
My mom did not talk much, but she accepted on one condition, that I need to study well, and do not play the toys overtime. I was so happy at that moment; She drove the car directly to Toys City, the place where sells toys. The Toys City building has six floors, and every floor has a different category that can select the toys from different cartoon shows. My toys were at third floor, so we went there swiftly. An hour later, I was so tired by choosing the one I want, yet every toy was very attractive to me. My mom bought two toys for me, because it was buy one get one 50%

    ¿Hablas Espanol? "Mom where do babies come from?", I remember asking one day after preschool. She looked down at my innocent, four-year-old face that had dried snot and remnants of what looked like some sort of red candy from lunch still on it, and she quickly realized where the conversation was about to go. Every kid has those phases where they beg and beg for the newest Barbie or Hot Wheels car that all their friends have, but their parents know that if they wait it out, sooner or later the begging will stop and their kids won't even remember why they wanted the toy in the first place, but this was not a phase.…

    The girl might learn that it is expected to use artificial products to be considered pretty 6. I believe that these toys for boys and girls are important to children’s socialization because they are teaching them what to except society wants in the future. When children cannot communicate verbally, toys become a great tool for planting seeds of how society wants them to function as a part of society. These toys enforce what societies views of how they should be brought up. For example, when a young boy gets hurt, society says not to cry and walk it off.…

    Toys are a major component in young children’s lives. However, many toys are specifically designed based on the gender roles our society has enforced. For instance, girls are taught to believe that they are meant to become mothers, great house wives, and simply be feminine. This perception of girls has led many toy companies to produce and sell dolls, domestic items like kitchen appliances, and baking goods.…
