A Naughty Kid

After lunch, Mom prepares to wash dishes. She says to her son Fletcher,

“Fletcher,I trust you will be good while I do dishes.”

“Ok, Mom.” Fletcher answers.

When Mom just begins to wash the dishes with the soap,she is shocked by a loud sound. She asks at once,

“Fletcher, what was that sound?”

When Mom turns around, she finds breaking plates on the floor.

Fletcher says carefully,

“Sorry, Mom. I lifted the dishes and lost my grip.”

Mom feels a little angry but still tells Fletcher,

“It’s ok.Please clean the floor. And I trust you will do better next time.”

However, Mom smells something strange in three minutes. She asks quickly,

“Fletcher, what’s that I smell?”

Fletcher answers,

“Sorry,Mom.I rubbed melted butter on the desk.”

Mom feels headache when she looks at the desk. But she takes a deep breath and says ,

“Now, please clean up at once!”

After Mom goes back to the kitchen,she finds the pet dog Lucky walking with strange fur. Mom covers her eyes and points at Lucky,

“Fletcher, what was that?”

Fletcher pets the dog and says,

“Sorry Mom. I buzzed the fur off the dog.”

Mom gets so angry and shouts,

“Fletcher!”

Fletcher says,

“I can’t help it ,Mom. You know I can’t be trusted.”

When I was one year old, we had a pet bunny named Bonbon at home. This was a birthday gift of my sister when she was 8 years old. This smart bunny was white and with brown patterns on its back. Bonbon lived in our reading room and there was a pet gate between the reading room and the living room. Mom said it could keep it away from the wood furniture and cloth sofa of our living room. Or Bonbon would bite the wooden part or pee on the sofa.

I liked to play with Bonbon when my sister was playing the piano in the living room. Bonbon liked to lick my finger or toe and it enjoyed when we pet its soft fur.

One day, when my dad was cooking in the kitchen, my mom walked to the kitchen to drink water. They left me staying in the living room.My mom turned around and suddenly found Bonbon was beside the kitchen door and looked at my Mom and Dad. They stopped everything to chase to catch Bonbon. Finally, Bonbon was caught and sent back to the reading room. My parents was very confused how Bonbon could come out by itself. Because I could only crawl on the floor at that time, they didn’t think it was me.Several days later, my mom found that I could open the pet gate then they knew what happened that day. My mom said to me,

“What a naughty kid!”
