It was another common day after school, my mother had just finished work and asked me and my brother to wait in front of the house, that way she would not go inside and we could complete our chores faster. We were going to the super market to buy food and other materials for school. I have always loved going to the mall or super market because I am always amazed to watch the different colorful shops and the lives of the people surrounding me. I remember my mother would never let me touch any of the stuff that we were or not buying. She would always tell me to only watch but never touch. I have always been a very clumsy person, in other words, I am never surprised that I lose or forget something.
That day, as I was pretending to be only watching and when my mom turned to see something else on another hallway, I decided I wanted to "see" thermos. My mother and brother were distracted asking a worker about the price of something they wanted to buy. I was behind making sure I would be caught touching things. Finally I decided to carry one. I remember it had many silver layers, and it had pink and purple colors in the outside with a floral pattern. As soon as I grabbed it, the many silver layers just dropped in front of my eyes. I swear, everything had just moved in a very slow camera motion. The sound of it breaking was horrible.
My mother turned, my brother started bothering me by saying that I would be punished. I was still very shocked from what had just happened. I was still carrying the pink and purple floral layer, and because I was so scared, I just say down and started crying. My mom told me to stand up, that it was okay and she paid for it. I think it was a good idea to cry because that night my mother didn't punish me, the only thing was that I was never allowed to get near any stuff even at home.
Imagining you as a little girl bursting out in tears made me smile! It must've been a frightening experience as a young kid, but it seems like you remember it as an amusing memory. My little sister also loved to go shopping, too! It's lovely looking back into pleasant memories.
