“I live in a big house with Mommy, Daddy and my sister Nala Co. The walls are a brown color, and we have a driveway where the cars go. My room is the best room because that is where all of my things are, like my toys and my dolls. Nala Co stays in my room, too, which is not fun sometimes because she cries.”
“After I eat I always help wash the dishes and I even help cook. A lady needs to know what chores to do around the house. Sometimes, at the end of the day, Mommy will let me sweep the house, too. Nala Co is younger than me, but she also helps clean the house.”
“Mommy is an accountant, just like Uncle Oscar. She works hard, so she is very serious and tired at night. Daddy is a civil servant. Daddy is rich; he has a lot of money.”
Oscar is one of my host brothers.
“School starts at eight o’ clock every day. I leave the house at 7:30 to get there on time. After school I leave at three o’ clock, but I like to play with my friends sometimes, so I don’t want to leave.”
