Riri in the small mirror
I didn’t want to hang out with the girl called Riri in the mirror.
So, I decided that it was better to stick with mom for the moment. I was about to ask her whether she needed help with anything, “You can load some of the dishes into the dish washer, if you feel like,” she said before I asked. I don’t know how she does it but sometimes mom knows exactly what I’m about to say! “And oh, your bedroom could use some vacuuming and tidying up,” she added. Mom had carelessly used the words “if you feel like” I don’t know about other ten-year olds but I like those words. “If you feel like.” Actually, as any regular ten-year old, I didn’t feel like doing either of the suggested chores.
