One day me and my mom were watching Tom and Jerry. We were laughing so hard that I nearly choked, my mom asked me if I was sleepy. I told her I was very sleepy when I was in bed my mom told me that she had a surprise for me in the morning. She was about to ask me if I had brushed my teeth but I had already fallen asleep. The next morning I was on my bed thinking of what my surprise was going to be. I was ecstatic. I ran to my mom’s room but she wasn’t there. I looked everywhere for her but I couldn’t find her. Then I heard a yelp. I ran to the backyard and there I found my mom with my dog Isabel. My mom told me to go inside so I ran as fast as a cheetah and went to my room. My mom told me to go to her room and sit on the bed because she was going to tell me the surprise. She had something behind her back. I could see something brown. She told me to close my eyes so I closed them. When my mom told me to open my eyes, I started to cry and laugh at the same time. My mom asked me,  ”Are you happy?” I told her, “Yes.” My mom told me that there were eight puppies. In her hands she held a brown puppy. I grabbed the puppy and I held it to my chest.

When I was sleeping, my mom picked me up. She said “Happy Birthday.” She startled me and I fell off my bed. “lets get dressed” my mom said. I got up and went to the bathroom. I told my mom not to scare me again. I took a shower and then my mom did. After we were done we went to shop for my party things. We had to shop for a long time. We had to buy candy, a pinata, cups, plates, and food. After that my mom called my aunt’s to help. I took a nap because of all the shopping we did. My mom woke me up. She told me that the party started. So I woke up and went to say “hi”. I told my mom that I was hungry so she gave me a hot dog. My mom told me it was time to hit the pinata. I started to cry. I thought it was going to hit me so I ran away. My mom told me to open my presents. I did and I got a bear and other things. Anyways that’s my best memoir.

One night my three cousins, my friend and I were playing tag outside in an old car. My cousin George then yelled. I said “What?” and he just stood there with fear. I was going to get out of the car, but my oldest cousin said “No, he is going to tag you.” I told my cousin that he couldn’t tag us. He said “Ok.”

All of us got out of the car. We asked him, “What do you see?” We were all staring at a tree and  then we yelled. There was a man hanging from a tree, but I rubbed my eyes and looked; there was nothing there. I just saw a rope, so I said ” I’m going inside.”

All of us were going inside, and the man was right behind us. We all ran inside the house and didn’t go back outside, but all of us heard something. It was outside. We decided to find out what it  was.

It was really dark outside, but we still went. We heard someone say “Boo!” All of us yelled. Then we ran inside, I tripped on a rock and I scraped my leg. My cousins and my friend helped me inside. They got a towel and wiped off all the blood on my leg, and they put some alcohol on my leg. I started to cry.

That’s when our mom’s came. We all ran to them except me. My mom asked me what had happened, and my oldest cousin told her. She looked at me and hugged me and my tias did too. From that day on we didn’t know what happened to the man in the backyard.
