“Baby, are you awake?”
I feel mom’s hand, caressing my hair. Will she continue if I pretend I’m sleeping? I hear her chuckle.
“Don’t pretend. I know when my baby boy is awake.”
I raise my head and look at her. She smiles. My mom is the prettiest. She is very thin, but her hair is shiny like the sun and she smells like flowers. I yawn because I am still a bit sleepy. I look at my watch. It’s six o’clock! I took too big a nap on mom's bed!
“Mommy, I have to go! Big brother is waiting for me!”
“Okay. Here, take this.”
Wow, chocolates! She gives me three big bars. I love chocolate! I take my school backpack, put on my shoes, and I run to mom to give her a kiss on the cheek.
“Bye, baby. Kiss your brothers for me, sweetie. And tell them to come to see mommy, too, okay
