I used to be ashamed of my grandma. I know that's a
36
thing to say, but it was true until
today, so I have to
37
it.
The
38
started when my friend Katy found Grandma's false teeth floating in a glass on the
bathroom sink. I was so used to seeing them that I
39
took notice of them. But Katy shouted,
laughing and
40
to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and
41
her to shut up
so my grandma wouldn't
42
and get hurt.
After that happened, I
43
there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing
锛堜护浜虹獦杩級
.
Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King.
44
ordering our hamburgers well-done, she
told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (
宸ㄦ棤闇?/p>
) well-to-do. " Jill burst
out laughing, but I almost
45
.
After a while, I started wishing I could
46
Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my
parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel
47
in our home.
Then last Wednesday, something happened that
48
everything completely. My teacher told
us
to
help
find
interesting
old
people
and
49
them
about
their
50
for
a
big
Oral
History project. I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.
"V
olunteer your grandmother," she whispered. "She's
51
and rich in experience."
That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.
This
is
how
I
ended
up
on
52
today
interviewing
my
own
grandmother
before
the
whole
school assembly (

). All my friends and teachers were listening to her
53
she was a great
heroine.
I
was
54
of
my
grandma
and
hoped
she
would
55
know
that
I
had
been
ashamed of her.
