A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood.It was filled with surprise and amusements,all because of my mother—loving,sweet,yet absent-minded and forgetful.One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota,and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way.As the first day of our trip approached,David,my eight-year-old brother,and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends.Who knew if we'd ever see them again Finally,the moment of our departure arrived,and we loaded suitcases,books,games,camping equipment,and a tent into the car and bravely drove off.We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept:“You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go,and I'll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.”
I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey,where are the kids ” “What ! Oh,Gosh...I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city,but we weren't about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night,we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy.After driving in vain for some time,Mom suddenly got a great idea:Why didn't we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there David and I became nervous.To our great relief,Dad turned down the idea.Mom never could understand our objections(反对).If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep,Mom would have been delighted.She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is.We finally found a vacancy(空缺) in the next town.
Para1.The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us.But then we were half an hour away from the hotel, where the tent was left behind.Dad recommended buying a new one,while Mom insisted on our going back to fetch it,saying “Forgetful people like me may lose things repeatedly,so it’s unwise to give up the tent.” Finally,we got back the tent and hit the road again.If Mom hadn't been that absent-minded,it would have saved us the trouble of going back again and again.
Para2 We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way.One day,towards evening,we found a great camping site at the foot of a high mountain. David and I helped Dad put up the tent, and Mom was busy preparing supper.When the setting sun cast an orange light over the mountains,the tent was set up and the meal was ready.Sitting around the camp fire,we talked and laughed.Every time we mentioned the funny incidents of the journey a pleasant smile would spread over Mom's face.
