It all started a Saturday afternoon when I walked in after sewing the lawn. Mom jumped me from behind the door and started staring at me mercilessly.
“Gottcha!” she shook and continued to me against a wall. I started rebelling and tried to fight mom’s fingers from their tortures. Knowing that if I didn’t leave early, Mom would make me cry so loud.
We’ve done things like this since I was seven. In the morning, he woke me up at school, jumping on the bed I slept in, and he started teasing me until I begged him to stop. But I usually got here on the next weekend, because then Dad left for work very early, so mom went to bed late. While she was still asleep, I flew out of nowhere and landed on her bed, bouncing both in the air. In the past time, we moved to drop the ice cubes along the other shirts, water balloons from anywhere and when we worked in the courtyard, we would be sprayed each other with the garden pipe (although once we were not out when it happened. What a mess!). We basically acted more like best friends than mother and son.
