What about you? Do your family do the housework together?
Yours,

One Sunday morning, I was unhappy. Two of my friends went to the movies the day before, but they didn’t invite me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in and asked, “Want to go for a ride today, Judy?”
“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends invited me to go swimming with them a few hours later. I forgot to be angry with them and went. When I came back home, I saw a note (便条), “Dad has an accident. Go to Highland Park Hospital. Mom.”
As soon as I reached the hospital, my mother held my hand and said, “Luckily, your dad was able to tell others to leave him alone and just call 911! If they had moved him ...” My mother talked a lot, but I only remembered: LEAVE HIM ALONE.
Weeks later, my father was able to talk. One day, I said sorry to him for what I said that Sunday morning. He smiled and said he remembered nothing but saying goodnight to me the night before.
I knew he was lying (说谎). I regretted my thoughtless words. I never really wanted him to leave me alone. It was too terrible to imagine.

That’s all. Thank you!
