Two years later Charlie got a skateboard for his 12th birthday. He was so glad to finially get a skateboard. Sofia loved to watch him skate on his rollerskates or play on his skateboard.
"Don't fall down and hurt yourself," Sofia warned.
"Oh, sister you're such a worry wart," said Charlie.
"Of course I am, you're my brother," said Sofia.
On Sofia's 17th birthday, she got ice skates.
"I can't wait to go to a skating arena and try them out, will you go with me mom?"
"Sure I will," said their mom, "we can make it a family thing."
When they got there, Sofia put on her skates and fell down because the ice was so slippery. Sofia got up and tried again. It wasn't so bad the second time around.
On the ride Sofia asked their mom and dad, "can I please have ice skating lessons?"
"We'll see," said their mom."
The next day their mom said to Sofia, "you can have skating lessons as long as you do your homework first."
"Thanks mom," said Sofia.
Jen, you really have me hooked! I wonder if Sofia will become a competitive skater like a figure skater or even a speed skater! Or maybe skating will lead to a fun new group of friends! So many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteIt’s really hard to learn to skate when you are no longer a child. She must be very determined.
ReplyDeleteIt is getting warmer here, Jen. I'm waiting for the new twist and turn! Keep up the nice story line, Jen.
ReplyDeleteSophia and Charlie have very agreeable parents. Hopefully Sophia didn't have to do her homework just one night to get the skating lessons. Also, she should be wearing a mouthguard to protect her teeth, especially if she's falling down a lot. Dad
