My Canadian Chronicles 17

A group of us went to see a museum, but unfortunately, it was closed. We stood and talked to the Porter asking when it would be open again and how much it would cost. My friend Melvina said we are seniors and we will be back again. “Oh yes, mum we will, and can I have some candy the next time we come mum? ” A silly grin abolishing my face. With everything she said like a parrot, I followed with “Yes mum.” The laughter rang out among us every time I said “mum.” Mel is only a couple of months older than me and is my big sister really. We cannot be twins because I am bleached a little bit, but she is still my sister after all said and done. “Aren’t you mum? ” 12 June 2009 For my very good friend and adopted sister Melvina who had to put up with my tomfoolery while I was on holiday.
