I sat there once, sat there, and all of a sudden I thought about it, and I was surprised myself. I thought it would be nice if everything was the other way around. Well, for example, so that children would be in charge of everything and adults would have to obey them in everything, in everything. In general, for adults to be like children, and for children to be like adults. That would be great, it would be very interesting.
First of all, I imagine that my mother would "like" such a story that I walk and command it as I wish, and Dad would probably not like it either, and there is nothing to talk about my grandmother, she would probably cry from me all day long. What can I say, I'd show them how much a pound of dashing I'd remember!
- For example, my mother would sit at lunch, and I would tell her:
"Why did you make it so fashionable without bread? Here's more news! Look at you in the mirror, who do you look like? You look like Koschei! Eat now, they say! - And she would eat with her head down, and I would only give a team: - Faster! Don't hold your cheek! Did you think about it again? Do you solve all the world problems? Chew properly! And don't rock on the chair!
- And then Daddy would come in after work, and he wouldn't even have time to undress, and I would have shouted:
"Ah, he showed up! You should always be waiting for you! My hands now! As it should be, my dirt has nothing to smear. After you, it's scary to look at the towel. Three brushes and do not spare soap. Show me your nails! It's horrible, not your nails. They're just claws! Where are the scissors? Don't move! I don't cut with any meat, and I cut my hair very carefully. Don't squelch your nose, you're not a girl. That's it. Come to the table, sit down.
He would have sat down and quietly told Mom:
"How are you doing?
- And she would say quietly too:
"Nothing, thank you!
- And I would have done it immediately:
"Talk at the table! When I eat, I'm deaf and deaf! Remember this for life. The golden rule! Daddy, put down the newspaper now, you are my punishment!
Deniska punishes her grandmother
- And they'd sit there like silk, and when my grandmother came, I'd squint, splash my hands and vote:
"Dad! Mom! Look at your grandmother! What a view! My chest is open, my hat is on the back of my head! The cheeks are red, the whole neck is wet! Good, nothing to say. Admit it, I was chasing you back to hockey! And what is this dirty stick? Why did you bring her into the house? It's a stick! Get it out of my sight right now - on the back door!
- I'd walk around the room and tell them all three:
"After lunch, everybody sit down for lessons, and I'll go to the movies!
- Of course, they'd be up and about right now:
"And we are with you! And we also want to go to the cinema!
- And I would have been there for them:
"Nothing, nothing! Yesterday we went to a birthday party, on Sunday I took you to the circus! You are! I liked to have fun every day. Sit at home! Nate you here thirty kopecks for ice cream, that's all!
- Then Grandma would have prayed:
"At least take me! After all, every child can spend one adult with him for free!
- But I'd say I wouldn't, I'd say:
"And on this picture people after seventy years of age are forbidden to enter. Stay home!
And I would walk past them, deliberately tapping my heels loudly, as if I didn't notice that their eyes were already wet, and I would get dressed, and I would spin in front of the mirror for a long time, and sing, and they would suffer even worse, and I would open the door to the stairs and say...
But I didn't have time to figure out what I would have said, because at that time, my mother came in, she was real, alive, and said:
- You're still sitting there. Eat now, look who you look like. You look like Koschei!
