Tales from childhood: You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

Hi everyone, I'd like to share one of my old stories with you again. I'm the lady in red.

"You have to water the flowers today." my mother said sternly.

I was a child then. I wanted to rest, but instead, I had to tend the plants.

My younger twin sisters were going about their business. That really infuriated me! Why did I have to be the one to do the housework? Because I'm a girl?! Or just because I'm older?!

Maybe now that I haven't lived with them for a long time, my sisters do everything themselves. Right?
