Now I Know Better

On a Thursday year of 2015, I realized making people laugh isn’t as good as it seems in certain situations. After school, my mom and siblings decided that we should go to the park, to hang out with some friends. It was a good weather to go, not too cold and not too hot, so I didn’t refuse. As we got there, me and my older sister, Sondos, wanted to go for a walk near the fountains because we got bored from sitting down and wanted to see the ducklings swim around the fountains.

Mom 's response was “NO,” but in my head I thought, why not, good memory huh? The doctor then asked to keep it because out of all the patients he’s had, this one is very special and bizarre. They brought Sondos out and said to us she can not speak for a week or so, so her throat heals better. The way from the hospital to our house she wouldn’t keep her mouth shut! Waw sister, you’re doing your job too, very, I mean, VERY well. Now I know and learned and WILL never repeat making people laugh in certain situations. Especially this
