It was in the night, on Wednesday me and my family were having a quiet conversation in our living room, eating left over Lasagna from previous night.
“So what was left from the Jelly?” my sister asked, “ Nothing” I replied. “ Why don’t we do something different tonight?” said my Dad quickly, “ We can play a game and whoever wins they win the leftover money we have and we can all play together!” Every now and then my family does something special each week.
We played Bingo, we would play for fun, but sometimes we played for money. Now it was time. “ Everyone buckle up because its time to GO!!” and then it started. It was a loooooooong game and all of a sudden I had only on number, left Number 18 “ BINGO!” my older sister yelled full of enthusiasm. All of a sudden she regretted the way she said it when my eyes filled up with tears.
My Dad came towards me looking at my numbers. “ The number 18 has already gone!” he said. I was so gutted just to know I could have won was heart-breaking for me. “Girly what were you doing?” “I don’t know!” I said and I stormed upstairs like a flying winged banshee from hell. I calmed my self down, as I was doing so I saw my sisters photograph on the wall, she was smiling but when I looked at her it looked like she was saying “ Your a loser!”. I went back to where the rest of my family was sitting.
My Dad said “ You know that the money your playing with now is your Dinner money?”, “ Oh is it?” I said bitterly. My Dad gave Gloria her money which was 5 dollars. I look at her fiercely. My Dad gave me 2 dollars to spend. At that moment I felt guilty. “ I’m Sorry” I said Apologetically “ I feel so foolish”. “It’s Okay” My sister said and she gave me a dollar.
I learnt a valuable lesson, whatever you do your family will be by your side and I will treasure that for the rest of my life!
