I had the meanest mother in the whole world While other 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 sad.My sister and two brothers had the same mean
mother as I did.
My mother preferred to know where we were at all times.She had to know who our friends
were and where we were going We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day.The other kids
got to wear the same clothes for days.We could not lie in bed "sick"in order to miss school.
The worst is yet to come.We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next
morning.We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends.So while they slept,my mother was brave to
break the Child Labour Laws.She made us work.We had to wash dishes,make beds,and learn to
cook and all kinds of things at home I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do
My mother was a complete failure as a mother.Two of her children received higher
education.None of us have ever been taken away by the police or divorced ()She forced us
to grow up into educated and honest adults I am now trying to raise my three children this way I
am filled with pride when my children call me "mean".Why?Because now I'm grateful to have
the meanest mother in the world.
