Family Folklore By:Tina Flores

The tale of a very sad mishapping.
This tale starts when the massive brother of mine had just came from a very boring basketball the sun had to take a nap to get through the game so he was not very happy with himself. He came stomping so hard it felt like an earthquake when he arrived. I was standing there being good like always when my jumbo brother started yelling so loud that my next door neighbor called to say we were being to loud. My mother the sweetest little person came out confused and amused at the tantrum my older brother was having. She asked what the issue was in a sweet voice that my dog fell asleep again. He told his story and did the yelling. My sweet mother saw the anger of a lion in him and told him to stay home and relax before he frightened the sun away. When she told him that he just went off the high horse and yelled more. He was still screaming when he kicked the basketball with the force of a trunk at the speed of light. It was like a slow motion movie when the ball hit my face. I did not notice anything until my mother started to scream at my brother with rage that it felt as if the building was going to crack with all that was happening. Then I noticed that my nose was bleeding so much that it looked like a waterfall. He had broken my nose and the pain was like a mouse whisker was just tickling my nose. It was a very dramatic day that I will never forget.
