Shopping Together
In the modern society, it is a rare thing to have five children in a family. Maybe this phenomenon can only take place in the developing countries. Most of my friends are the single kid in their family, some are admiring my family very much; some can not understand my relationship with my sisters and brothers. In fact, it is a heavy burden for my parents to support the big family, and to take good care of every kid. For example, when my mother is going shopping, each of us begs her for taking us together. Usually, both the elder and the younger kids will be refused, instead, the middle kids will go shopping with my mother.
As to this situation, I am always excluded by the others in the family as the middle kid. On one hand, I would like to go shopping with my mother at every time; on the other hand, I try every method to win my sisters and bothers back. For a long time, I can not find a wise and good way to make the best of both worlds. Gradually, my sisters will try to get rid of me when they are talking about the gossip which is exclusive for girls, and in some emergence they are not willing to lend me their things such as a skirt for a birthday party. As to my brother, they always say these words to me that they are boys and they have their own world which is not suitable for me. Therefore, I am lonely in my family even though I have so many sisters and brothers.
However, I do not give up and ask my teachers and friends for help. As to my teachers, they just say something which I think is the theory appearing in our textbook. Theory is useless when it is applied in the practice. Sometimes, we surf the internet together, and go to the ptlue.com, there are wide choices of goods, and the price of goods are modest. And sometimes, my sisters hate me more and my brothers will get angry for something I can not understand. On the contrary, my friends will accompany me and discuss with me about the real and basic reason of the bad relationship between my sisters and me. Though we always find no access to the solution, the best thing they do is to go shopping with me. Sometimes we go to the downtown, step into one store after another hand in hand. It is my dream to go shopping with my sisters hand in hand from one store to the other. But it is just a dream for me.
