MY MOTHER

By Shahnaz Hassan

My mother rules the world around me, she not only shouts and controls me or my brother but all around the animals, insects, and reptiles. If she sees cockroaches, she shouts at them they immediately run and hide in the corner,

the lizards on the wall runs to save their lives, and the cat and the rat runs to save their life at the sound of my mother’s footsteps. I see smiles and giggles in their poor situation of theirs. It seems at times when I and my brother talk about our mother – they also gathered to listen and say – Yeah! She’s a scary mom.
