I remember when I was in the Ukraine and I was waiting for my parents to come get me from the orphanage. On March 18 my mom came to Ukraine to do the papers so I can go home. On March 20th my mom finally came to the Ukraine orphanage and I was so happy to see her and my dad came along to. In the Ukraine they only let us in the red building and no where else. But in couple of weeks they aloud us to go the the Ukrainian apartment. I don't really remember but the apartment didn't look the same as the orphanage it wasn't deferent for the orphanage and the apartment. I also remember when I asked mom to buy me a phone but she didn't because I all ready had a phone. Then we went to a grocery store and i wanted so many things because i don't usually go to stores because they didn't let us in the orphanage. I felt like i was a free men and i could do what ever I wanted but still had to stay with someone. I really like walking with my mom in the orphanage because I don't like walking with my Ukrainian friends because they alway get me into more trouble then I usually get in. The next thing I remember is when we went to visit my orphanage for the last time and when we arrived there I didn't let anyone touch my parent but my mom said "Just let them meet us", and I said "Da". Then we taught my dad how to play a Ukrainian glass game he thought that game was fun but i thought it was twice as fun and double the fun he had. The only part i like about this game is you get to hit some one as hard as you can and then you go and try to go put the glass back together. That was the only thing that was fun to do in Ukraine and soccer.
We came back to our apartment and went to bed because we were so tried and we didn't want to do anything else. The next morning I was going to make dinner for mom and I told her all the stuff I need to make grilled potato and i didn't really did it the way I thought Snizzana did. So went and I started to make the dinner. I tried to ask my mom to help but she didn't understand what I was saying. I said to my self " I guess it's all on my own. Couple of hours we went to see if the potatoes were all done cooking. So finally my mom figured out what I was trying to do. My mom toke over the cooking the potatoes part and I toke over the salad and we finally finished cooking dinner. We sat at this small little table there wasn't enough space for us to eat but we ate anyway. The part where I was waiting for the potatoes to cook guess what I was doing those to hours i was watching Tom and Jerry I think my mom has a video of me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants.
Alex! This is awesome and I love it! It made me get a little watery eyed reading and remembering all of these events.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things to remember is when you change the subject, you need to start a new paragraph and aloud means out loud, you should have used allowed. There's a few other little mistakes but over all it's a great entry! I hope you'll write some more memories.
Love,
Mom
This is a great post, Alex. Your english is getting so good! It is funny because so many kids from Ukraine love Tom and Jerry. Our Yuliya likes to watch it too, even still! I remember reading your mom's blog when she was in Ukraine and all of the things you did made me smile. You took care of your mom and dad so well, and your mom and dad were so proud of you. They love you so much.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. You are an amazing kid!
Aww. I like the memories. You should keep them and read them when you get older. Someday, you should write a book about your adventures. My son never wanted to cook anything when we were in Ukraine - he just wanted to eat everything. I think I'll ask him to write his story, too. Try making pizza or tacos. They can be fun to make for supper. Anyway, great story. You should write more. Thanks.
