Embarrassed Alex

Today, I want to talk about my embarrassing experience when I was small. When I was seven years old, I went to the mall with my family during Chinese New Year to buy some new clothes. There were many things to buy, but I only wanted to play with my toy cars at home. I was very naughty and liked playing with toys very much. When my family was looking for clothes for me, I saw a toy shop next to the boutique. I saw many toys there. I hoped my mother would buy some for me.

When I went back to the boutique, I asked my mother, “Can you buy some toy cars for me? If I need to buy new clothes, I think you need to buy a toy car for me!” My mother shouted, “I don’t know why I need to buy a toy car for you. If you don’t want to have new clothes, I will not buy for you!” I was very angry and shouted, “No, no, no, I need to have a toy car! I don’t want any clothes; I only want a toy car!” I shouted very loudly, so all the shoppers in the mall looked at me. I was very scared and went behind my mother’s back. I was very embarrassed. So, when I went to the mall again, I didn’t shout anymore.
