The Food
Because she stayed at school to work on her Art piece, Mariam came home later than usual. She also had to ask a question to her counselor and go to a club meeting. Mariam is generally a busy girl, she does her best to go to sleep at ten and to close her eyes at 10:10 and not open them until it’s morning, but it rarely works out as planned. Some days she just has too much homework, the other days, her family has to host guests with children. The main problem is that Mariam’s brother doesn’t know how to entertain children, and since Mariam does, that adds up to her responsibilities. Sometimes Mariam realizes how much time she used to have as a child. She could be playing outside with her friends all day long, watching her favorite cartoons on the TV, going for a walk with grandparents.
The Blue Hats
Everyone wears that blue hats except for me and Ma. Ma says it makes them very happy, but she never lets me try it on, does she not want me to be happy?
