How I Ended Up in a Day Care

How I Lost My Grandmother

Many long years ago, when I was very young, I lived up in a third floor apartment in the city. I lived with my grandmother and grandfather. It was a very small apartment and it got very hot in the summer time. Whenever my grandmother and grandfather wanted to talk she would send me outside on the flat roof, to play. Now there was a small wall around the side that I could see down to the street. I would sit outside for hours playing in the hot tar. The tar was hot from the sun. I would love to break the little tar bubbles. On top of the tar were small stones. I really enjoyed playing outside.

One day when my grandfather came home, they had a argument, about whether I should stay there or not. My grandmother not wanting me to hear anything sent me outside. Then my grandmother asked my grandfather to go get milk, as she was almost out. There was such an argument that I rushed in to see what was the matter. There on the floor was my grandfather, along with broken glass, all over. I cryed what is wrong with grandfather? My grandmother said O he's alright, he must of passed out. He will be up in a little while. So she said why don't you go down stairs and see if the paper was in yet. I think that is what she send me down for. So i sat on the front step, with my arm and hand holding my chin up, just wondering where that paper was. So I walked around as well and went down the street to see if the paper was in yet. When I came back I sat on the front step for quite a while. I saw something exciting and went running in to tell my grandmother. I yelled with excitement, grandmother, grandmother, but there was no answer. I looked in the entire apartment for her and there was no signs of anybody. I wondered where could she be. Maybe she went outside on the flat roof to get some fresh air. But she wasn't there either. She was very good to me and I loved her very much. So I went down on the step to try this entire thing again to see if maybe this time, she would be there. But she wan 't.
