Kat the Brat – Christmas Chocolate
I
must have been about 18 months old and it was my second Christmas. My
mum had to run some errands and brought me to my grandmother. They first
fed me lunch then put me down to sleep in the little guestroom next to
the kitchen. My grandmother also kept all gifts there. Like the boxes
with chocolate she wanted to send to her friends all over Europe.
My grandmother and my mum had another coffee, and then my mum left to go
shopping. Everything was quiet and my grandmother did some cleaning,
till my mum came back after 3 hours. Since they didn’t hear me, they
thought I was still asleep. They didn’t bother to check on me, but sat
down for another coffee. Then after 4 hours, my mum was wondering, since
I rarely slept so long in the afternoon. So they went to look.
When they opened the door, a little brown girl looked at them with big
eyes. That girl was me, covered in chocolate from head to toe. Lol
apparently I made it to grab some of the chocolate boxes and ripped them
open, eating about 3 bars of chocolate. No wonder I was so quiet, I
enjoyed a second meal lol.
My mum was really concerned and called the doctor. He just told her that
I probably would throw up and not be hungry, but it would pass. Well the
doctor was wrong all along. Little brat Kat, wanted dinner and didn’t
throw up at all lol.
