Unknowing Havoc
“Mom! Mommy! When are you going to finish?! They are almost here!” I exclaimed. I ran to my mom in the sparkling clean house, with a phone in my hand. It read, 4:00 p.m. “It’s time! They’re coming!” I was very, very, excited for the first car to arrive at our house. I sat my butt down, barely being able to keep myself on the bench outside. Three-year-old me could not contain my excitement.
I went inside and looked at myself in the mirror, adding the last final touches to my outfit, and trying to calm myself down so my face wouldn’t look like a tomato. I couldn’t handle it any longer, so I went back outside to wait for the people to come. When I saw the first car arrive, I got so excited I jumped up and down. I smelled the spicy chili and the sweet lemon squares the people brought when they came in. I was so excited, but little did I know that the night would not be so great soon.
