Question

To this day, I don’t remember what the argument was about .I just remembered that it was a good one.

I really loved my parents .I gave them no trouble and in turn they helped me a lot. Best of all, I mostly had free use of our second car that I called The Dragon. But sometimes she needed it. And that’s what Mom and I were arguing about as we stood there at the front door of the condo(公寓租房) It was really the only thing she and I ever argued about .

That would explain why we were standing at the front door. I almost never used it because the back door was closer to where the cars were parked. So if I was it the front door, that meant I was coming in front having walked. But I’m not much of a walker .

So mom and I was arguing and during argument I called my Mom a …No sooner had that word escaped, my lips but I felt the strong hand of my father against my cheek . It was the only time I can remember my father striking me. We all stood there ,staring at each other . Finally I looked my Dad directly in the eye.” I deserved that ,”I said.

I really believed that. Mom had kept telling me before : “You can choose your actions, but you can’t choose the results of your actions.” We make choices, which affect others, and they react. Recognizing that our choices have consequences is a good lesson that life teaches us.
