favourite things.

It all happened on a bright morning in November. November 23 on a Saturday. It was my birthday. I woke up early in the morning to go out to the base, to my soccer game. I went to wash my face in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and I thought I saw someone else that looked just like me. But there was no-one else in there with me.

All of a sudden, I started day dreaming because I could smell this wonderful smell that hit my senses. So, I went to my Mom's room but there was nothing in there. I went into the kitchen and there was my Mom at the stove. She was making me about a dozen pieces of French toast.

I said, "Good morning Mom.'' "Do you know what day it is,'' she said. "It's your birthday.'' I asked her if she bought me any gifts. She said she did not have the time but she did make me my most favourite breakfast.

I love French toast and I was happy when I ate it. After that I got ready and went to my soccer game.
