Mother -- Chapters 1-2
Chapter 1
The crowd cheers as I hit the winning home run. One swing, and the ball is out of the park. As I whip around the bases, I catch my mom and younger sister Minnie standing and clapping in the crowded bleachers. My other sister, Mimmie, is sitting and sulking, with a doll wedged between her and her crossed arms. Typical Mimmie. She and Minnie are identical twins, but to me, they’re nothing alike. Mimmie hates having to go to my baseball games, and always complains about the crowds, the hot metal bleachers, how bored she is, and so on. Mom makes her go anyway. But just to be fair, I have to attend all of her dance recitals.
