A note from jameela

I am Jameela Hena .

I am a big girl , but my family don’t think that . I will say you one story about it .

“ Jameela , brush your hair “

My father said .

“ No I won’t “, I replied .

“ C’mon brush you hair “ my father said again .

“ I am a big girl “ 

I Screamed back .

“  Well your friends will laugh at you in school “ .

Of course she was the laughing stock in school that day .

After school my mother questioned ,

“ What did you learn in school , my darling ? “ . 

“ Just some biography “ I sighed.

“ I think you have some homework , Jameela “, my mother exclaimed .

“ But big girls don’t do homework “ I corrected her . 

At dinner ,

“ It’s Dinner Time “, My sister announced proudly , 

“Lettuce , cucumber is on the menu ,next for… “

“ Big girls don’t eat vegetables “ I interupted . 

The next day at diaper changingtime my baby smiled ,

“ Can you change my diaper ? “

I stared crossly and grinned back ,

“ Big girls don’t change diapers for babies “ .

My family was really tired of this . On a Saturday , My cousin said “ Let’s eat something “ 

“ What is it ? “ I asked curiously. 

“ It is marshmallows and sour candies “,

she said with a smug . 

“ Big girls don’t…um..i meanbig girl do eat candies “ I said .

My knees felt all wobbly like jelly  !

“ Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ! “ my family roared in laughter.

The End
