It's not your turn

"What?"

"It is not your turn, it is mine"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, when I opened them I frowned looking at my sister "It's not fair Kiara, it's my turn, last time it was yours" I reminded her hoping that she agrees with me. "Isn't true Ivonne" Kiara said. "It is and you know it, you can't do it again". "Ivonne" she sighed before continuing "Do we always have to go through this?" "It's not 'always' and it's not fair, it's my turn, we agreed that once it would be your turn, next it would be my turn" I knew that she wanted to disagree with me, but also she wanted to play. "Please Kiara, please, or I will go tell our Mom you don't let it be my turn and you want to have a double shift."

"Fine, this time it's your turn, but next time it will be my turn." Kiara responded reluctantly, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes. "Okay! Thanks Kiara." I thanked her, giving her a hug that made her take a few steps back. After leaving the house, we went to the patio and when I was in the middle I closed my eyes again and then squatted on the ground waiting for them to start, I did not have to wait for too long, no more than a minute later I started to listen to Kiara and my grandpa singing the song of the game 'Mr. Wolf'.

"Oh, how nice it is to be here.

After Mr. Wolf falls asleep.

Wolf, Mr. Wolf What are you doing?"

"I'm waking up" I replied as I stood up and opened my eyes, then I saw that they had stopped for a moment to listen to my answer, and once they heard it they walked around me again, and like the many times we played Mr. Wolf, they sang again.

"Oh, how nice it is to be here.

After Mr. Wolf falls asleep.

Wolf, Mr. Wolf What are you doing?"

"I'm getting dressed," I replied while pretending to put on a shirt, I saw them laughing a little before walking again when they saw what I did, they know how much I like this game and how I take it 'very seriously'. While I was also walking around in my place, I could see them. I heard them again.

"Oh, how nice it is to be here.

After Mr. Wolf falls asleep.

Wolf, Mr. Wolf What are you doing?"

While I put my hands in my pockets I pretended to look for the 'my house's keys', I replied: "I am looking for my key to leave", and once I found my imaginary key I began to 'open the door of my house', pretending to have some problems with that, I heard them again.

"Oh, how nice it is to be here.

After Mr. Wolf falls asleep.

Wolf, Mr. Wolf What are you doing?"

"I'll eat all of you!" I replied when I finally 'opened the door' and went after my sister "You can't catch me Ivonne!" She yelled at me and then laughed when she started to accelerate and I could no longer keep up with her, then I remembered that unfortunately she is older than me, she could get away from me faster, and that I would only spend more of my energy if I aimed to catch her first "I will catch you later Kiara." I thought as I stopped and let her go.

So I decided to chase my grandpa since I knew it would be easier to catch up with him and also that he would let me catch him, "I caught you!" I told him once I reached him and managed to grab his coat to stop him. I saw him go to sit in his chair on the patio, to see that my sister and I didn't get hurt, while I went after my sister. I was starting to get tired, but I wouldn't let that stop me from catching her "... and I caught you!" I told her when I caught her before she went upstairs, she frowned when she turned to look at me, and while we were taking a moment to catch our breath, my grandmother told us to go inside because it was cold "The last one to arrive is a rotten egg!" I yelled at her as I started to climb the stairs to enter the house and I heard her yelling "Hey! That's not fair, you are cheating!".

We went to the living room to watch TV, my grandparents were on the sofa while Kiara and I sat on the floor, using the coffee table to finish a coloring book they had bought for us, although we stopped for a few moments to watch the TV. Apparently a film from when there was no color was being shown, because it was in black and white, but that did not matter to me since I had gotten used to seeing this type of film with my grandparents. When it seemed like the movie had already finished, and all those words were starting to appear on the screen, I started to feel more tired and sleepy, but I still did not want to sleep because I wanted to finish coloring the dress of the princess in my book, I felt my eyelids start to get heavier and I closed my eyes while trying not to yawn.

"Ivonne? What did you say?"

It was then when I opened my eyes that I found myself again at my desk, with the cell phone in my hand in front of my computer as I continued to see the photos of my grandparents, remembering the good times we had together and feeling a pang in my heart when noticing that I would never have moments like that anymore.

Fighting against the tears that wanted to come out of my eyes I answered ""It is not fair Kaira, it is my turn, If you don't let it be my turn this time, I'll tell mom" Do you remember that day?" When I finished talking I heard her gasp.
