“The big bang” by my 8 year old
hi, I’m Chris and I’m going to tell you a story about my mum and how she broke her tendon.
It all started on a dark and cold night when my mum went to play squash. I never like it when parents go out at night because they get some time to themselves and sometimes it means that we have a babysitter and I don’t know why they are called that because it sounds like they have to sit on babies. Luckily we didn’t have a babysitter because dad was staying. Mum was yelling orders such as “where are my shoes?” nd “give me that” and so on. My brother was fiddling with things that he knew he wasn’t supposed to touch, dad was doing the dishes with bright red cheeks and I was following mum around the house saying “I’ve got that” and “stay calm” and so on. When mum was ready to go to squash we all said goodbye and mum drove off into the dark night. It was quite a long drive to get to the court but when mum got there she was greeted by all her friends and had a bite to eat (this was actually afterwards). Now was time to have a game of squash. Mum ran to the right hit the ball over the net (he hasn’t seen me play squash and think’s it’s tennis!), she ran to the left and bang! Mum collapsed on to the floor, everyone rushed over to her asking “what happened?”. Mum got onto a chair to have a rest before she drove home (very carefully with other people!) and told dad about it. (we looked on the Internet to work out what the problem was!) . Dad insisted that we should go to the doctor’s to have it x-rayed. next morning we all got up and went to the doctor’s to see mum get x-rayed (actually it was scanned). The doctor said that she had broken a tendon. She got it plastered up, now she is walking on crutches.
What will they do to get the kids to school? Find out in the next insallment……..
