I was walking in the park, pushing my brother Luke in the stroller, when I remembered my mom wanted me home by noon so we could get tickets for a lottery. So I went home. Mom was already in the car. "Ready yet?" she asked. "Sorry, but i am ready. Luke saw a loose dog and made me chase it," I said. "By the way, what happens if we win the lottery?" Mom was strapping Luke in. "Ten million. you have to give ten million to the government," mom explained. "So...you get twenty million and give ten million to the government?" I asked. "Yep," mom replied. "What's the number you're picking?" mom asked. "I'm doing 11234289760,"i said. "Where'd you get that?" mom asked. "I don't know. Just came up with it," I said truthfully. We were already there by then. It took twenty minutes, but we got tickets. Luke was crying and was hungry. "Were are going home already, baby boy," mom said, petting him like a dog. The next day, we crossed our fingers to win. I don't have a dad, so if we didn't win, my parents' probably would never be back together again. "...And the winner is...number 11234289760!" said a voice. "Taylor, that's you!" mom yelled excitedly. "You go!" I said. "I'm not going up there!" "Fine," mom said. "Take care of Luke."
So mom went up there and the crown applauded. Once mom got there, the lady asked mom her name. "Rebecca Mesdag," mom replied. "How is this going to change your life?" asked the lady. "Well, it's my daughter's ticket, but she was too shy to come up here because there are so many people here. I think that my daughter would like to have a nice house, not too big. maybe big enough for her to have her own bedroom. Maybe another one that I can share with her brother. Maybe a TV and a toy room." mom said. "That sounds like a good plan because a mansion might not leave you with enough money to decorate it and stuff.". The lady spoke to mom a little bit more and went to get the check. As she returned with a six foot large check, the lights dimmed. Everybody started cheering widely and throwing their hats in the air. Confetti, balloons and streamers dropped from the ceiling. The lady then handed the check to mom. It looked huge! The check made mom look small! They brought the cheek home, after trying a million times to make it fit, and then mom asked me what I wanted to do with the money. "Do you want to get a new house?" mom asked. "No, I like our house. I think I'll put some in Luke and i's accounts for collage, give some for charity, and save the rest," I said. "Wha-! When did you want to do that!?!" mom exclaimed. "I'm not nuts," I said seriously.
"Well, I guess it is your decision," mom said.
"Mom I would like to give some of my money to what Luke has"
Mom replied, "Okay, do you want to give it to the people that study it?"
"Okay, that it what I was going to say. Oh, and mom, how do you say that thing that Luke has anyway?"
"Eosinophilic esophagitis. I'm not sure who we should give it to, but maybe we should ask Luke's doctors in San Diego."
"Like Dr. Martin?"
"Sure," mom said.
We did everything, and we were exhausted. It was only six PM, but mom was so tired that we called for some Chinese food. mom was tired and couldn't barely open her eyes. our Chinese food arrived at 6:30. Mom barely was awake enough to feed Luke. She had put him to bed. Luke's lucky, i thought, thinking how Luke didn't know what was happening. He didn't get tired or exhausted. He was so lucky. Well, I thought, at least we got it over with. Mom was done with her food and so was I. I usually go to bed at 8:00, but I went to bed right away. In the morning it was better.
The End
