"Well, I'm waiting." mom kept tapping her foot.
"I can't."
"I'm your mother, the head of this household. The one who provides you with food everyday. You will tell me the truth."
"I wanted to find a picture of dad." My mom put her hands over her mouth and began to cry.
"WELL ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TELL ME! There was no need for you to sneak in my den which is forbidden to you and even lie to your own mother!! Just leave."
"What?"
"I said just leave! I can't even look at your face right now."
"I didn't know she would get so emotional about it." I told myself on the way to my room.
