Bad Baby Sister Turns Into Good Baby Sister – Zhang Leckerling
Bad Baby Sister Turns Into Good Baby Sister
By Anya Sophia Zhang Leckerling
1rst Grade
A long time ago, there was only me. One day, I suddenly realized that my mother
was going to have a baby. That news made me sad and excited. I was sad because I
would never get to only have my Mommy and Daddy to myself. Another reason is I
would have to share my food, favorite toys and love with my baby sister, Mina.
“I was sad because I would never get to only have
my Mommy and Daddy to myself.”
But now, I appreciate her because she is not funny—I asked her how she would
be described in a book. She answered by saying “I am not funny,” which is funny. I’ve
been living with her for two years! Can you believe it?! If you can believe it, you’re right.
I know this is weird but I never actually saw Mina being born. When Mina was
born I stayed with my Chinese grandmother at my old house. We needed to wait three
days before Mina could come home. After my Mommy gave birth to Mina, she was weak
for almost a week. Then, she recovered. Now, Mina is my favorite family member.
