English Memoir

It was December 24, 2018, when my mom and I arrived in New York City. We were there to celebrate Christmas with my family.

BOOM

BAAR-ROOM

Mommy, do we have to stay with my cousins?

Yes sweetie, we need to save money.

Yes, thank you so much for letting us stay over for Christmas.

Well, I hope this room is enough for the both of you. And if you need anything, please just tell me!

Aggh.. can I just go to sleep already. Why can't my aunt just leave...?

Yeah, no problem... I'll be heading out now. Since, Katheryn looks like she's about to pass out.

Ok, good night!

Night!

When we arrived at my aunt's house, we said our greetings and were leaded to our room. The next morning I was going to see my cousins and we were heading to Times Square for gifting shopping.

In the morning, I ate Christmas breakfast with my cousins and we head straight to Times Square. We entered a candy store because my aunt wanted to buy something from there.

Hey guys, welcome to Tony's candy store!

*Whisper* Hey, umm... what candy gift do you recommend for my niece over there?

Man, do I really have to here?

At the time I didn't know my aunt was to trying to be nice to me. Since I could remember she's always been a little rude towards me, so that's what I thought.

What's going on...?

Aww... how nice!

Is this lady going to pay?

Hey, since I know you didn't get a present for Christmas. I thought I'll give you your favorite chocolates.

*cries* Thank you so much!

I would have never thought that my aunt was trying to be nice to me. I always thought she liked my brother more than me. I was my fault for always being a little rude towards her and judging her. I should have never judged a book by it's cover.
