The Day All
My Hair Fell Out

One day I was practicing a reading that I was supposed to read at mass the next day. It was nine o’clock befor I got finished, so I went to bed and slept all night long. When I woke up the next morning I got out of bed and went into the kitchen to eat breakfast. My mother looked at me in a funny way. “What’s the matter?” I asked. “Never mind”, she said, “I must be seeing things”. I was puzzled fore a minute and then I remembered how much she said I’de grown. When I was through with my breakfast I went into my bedroom. I looked in the mirror and said “As beautiful as ever!” and turned to get on my clothes. Then I stopped, I turned toward the mirror and screamed. I ran to the kitchen and yelled at my mother “Why Didn’t you Tell me I was bald”!! Then I felt my mom shaking me and saying, “Margarite, Margarite. Wake up”!!

The End
