A New Thought
|
When I woke up this morning, my world was the same as it was the day before. I was happy, refreshed, and ready to fill my mind with things I didn't know.
Mommy gave me breakfast and then I went out to play. It was summer and I was free from school for the time being. My older brother was climbing a tree and my older sister was with her friend in the field beside our house. Daddy had already left for the day.
I snatched up a basketball and dribbled it. I never actually shot because I never made a basket, so why bother?
The day passed quickly. Mommy gave us lunch and then Daddy was home for supper. After dinner he called us all to the room I shared with my sister. We say on the green carpet around the bottom bunk bed and looked at each other from out different places.
"We're moving." Daddy said suddenly.
I didn't know what to think or say. Questions filled my mind. I felt excited and scared at the same time. What would it be like to leave the place I loved? Where would we go? What about out friends?
I looked up at my brother and sister and knew that this new piece of information was being scanned by their minds also. I realized how much I didn't know.
