One day Jason and his mom were about to go to the shopping mall that Jason dreaded most. His mom said that they were only going to buy some pants for him, but when his mom sees something she likes, she’ll stay at that store the whole day.
Jason is a 12-year-old boy and has no brothers or sisters. He only has a dumb old boring fish. His mom hates animals. He begged her to at least let him have a fish.
His mom was still getting ready while Jason was in his pajamas sleeping. Jason hated getting up in the morning. He wished he could sleep all day and get up at noon instead of 8:00.
Jason’s mom came into his room and said, “Jason, I changed my mind and you can sleep all you want. We’ll go to the mall at 1:00.”
Jason was relieved that he didn’t have to go to the mall. He wondered how his mom knew that he wanted to sleep in all day. He thought it was just a coincidence.
When it was time to go to the mall Jason was actually ready for once in his life. He was in the living room when his mom came out with three pounds of make-up on just her face.
She said, “Okay it’s time to go, Dear. We need to get you some new pajamas too. Your other ones are too small and I doubt you want to walk around wearing ‘Thomas, the Train’ pajamas.”
Jason did agree with his mom. He thought nothing could possibly go wrong today.
Jason and his mom got into the car to go to the mall. The mall was about a half hour away.
When they got into the mall, Jason realized that his favorite band was playing. He grabbed his mom’s hand and dragged her to where the music was coming from. Right then and there playing right in front his eyes were “The Beatles”
They were playing his favorite song, “It Don’t Come Easy”. He tried to run up to them but his mom grabbed his hand and didn’t let go.
She said to Jason, “You stop this nonsense and let’s find you some new pajamas.”
Jason didn’t want to go. He dragged his feet into the floor as hard as he could. His mom was already angry because he hurt her arm and this made her furious. She smacked Jason across the face. Jason got away and ran under the stage of the concert.
He said, “I wish that my mom would just die and I could have a new mom that would let me do whatever I wanted to do.”
Secretly he did not want that to happen.
He heard a scream of death. He looked out from under the stage and saw his mother having a heart attack! At that moment he had known what he had done. People don’t just have a heart attack just because.
He couldn’t take all of the excitement so he fainted. He woke up in his bed. He realized it was just a dream. He got out of his bed, ran downstairs to give his mom a big hug.
Jason said to his mom, “I love you so much, and I wish you would never die.
Then he had realized that now his mom would never die, or would she? Was the woman he hugged his mom? Was it all a dream?
