Question

I had the unkindest mother in the whole world．While other kids ate candy for breakfast．I had to have cereal(谷物)and eggs．When others had Cokes and candy for lunch，I had to eat a sandwich．But at least I wasn’t alone．My sister and two brothers had the same unkind mother as I did．

My mother knew where we were at all times．She knew who our friends were．We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day．We had to be in bed by 9：00 p．m．a(chǎn)nd up at 8：00 a.m. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends．So while they slept，our mother gave us work to do．We had to wash dishes，make our beds and learn to cook．I believe she lay awake at night thinking up unkind things for us to do．

Through the years，things didn’t improve a bit．We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school．

My mother was the unkindest mother．Out of four children，a couple of us went on to higher education．None of us have ever done bad things．She forced us to grow up into educated(受教育)and honest people．I am trying to raise my three children like this．I will feel proud when my children call me unkind．Because you see，I am thankful that I had the unkindest mother in the whole world．
