I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While 1 kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast.When others had coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich.. But at least, I wasn't alone when I was 2 My sister and tow brothers had the3 mean mother as I did .
My mother 4 to know where we were at all time. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a 5 every day . The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days . We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to 6 school .
The worse is yet to7 We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So 8 they slept , my mother was brave to 9 the Child Labor law. She made us work.. We had to wash dishes, make beds, learn to cook and all 10 of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking 11 all things for us to do at home.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother .Two of her children received12 education .13 of us have ever been arrested or divorced . She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults .I am trying to14 my three children this way . I am 15 with pride when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I thank God, He gave me the meanest mother in the whole world.
