Ahoy Cookie: A Short Story

Improved Essays
“No!” The babysitter said at the two young children who continuously reached for the cookies, the children’s faces squished up creating creases in the young skin causing them to look like two walking balls of crumpled paper instead of two five year old. The babysitter held the two cookies in her hand, high up away from the children like she was teasing two puppies. “But, we want the cookies.” One pouted, fiddling with her chubby fingers, her eyes locked on the chocolate chip glory that was a Chips Ahoy Cookie. “I said no.” The babysitter said, the plastic packaging crumpled under her hand as she put the two cookies back in the packaging. Looking back at the children, their wide eyes were glossed over like they were about to cry and their noses

    Two plump brown faces peered around the corner at me, their wide brown eyes taking in my pale complexion and straight brown hair. Hearing their giggles I turned and looked up at them before responding with one of the only phrases I knew of the spanish language, “hola” “¿cómo estás?” This caused a panic and they quickly disappeared, laughing to themselves and speaking in a language I had only begun to understand. A few seconds later I could feel their eyes staring down at me again, I quickly shot my head around to stare at them again, this caused them to dart away even quicker before being followed by a uproar of giggles. This experience was something I had grew quite accustomed to in my short time in Guatemala.…

My mom says that she heard that I’m on Santa’s nice list for the 5th year in a row! I always look forward to tamale making because I get to be around all my cousins and aunts and uncles and watch them make yummy food for our Christmas Eve feast while I make gingerbread houses! And every year when I ask if I can help this time, grandma always explains while grinning that “you can’t help with the tamales until you’re tall enough to reach the counter because someone so tiny will get knocked into the masa and then we will have tamales that taste like Alejandria!…

    It was inevitable that the sound of laughter from children his own age, the buoyant jokes they 'd utter and the encouraging words they’d say to one another would cause numerous questions to run through his mind, "How does it feel to be like them? To not be ashamed of who they are and where they’d come from? " It’d leave him wondering how it would feel to be accepted. It’s tough to imagine children experiencing something as horrid as discrimination, it’s even harder to believe they’re also the ones causing it. How they see the universe and everybody in it is influenced by those around them.…
