I was obsessed with Mickey Mouse when I was a child so my parents would give me Mickey things for my birthday and Christmas. One present happened to be a Mickey Mouse electric toothbrush. It became my new most- favorite thing in the world. Well, one day my toothbrush disappeared. I was crushed and utterly confused. My mother blamed one of my "no-good friends."
Anyway, months passed and I slowly got over my loss. One morning I woke up early and, being too young to cook myself breakfast, I went into my mother's bedroom. She was lying on her side with her back to me. She was making noises--weird, groany, moany noises. Thinking she was having a bad dream, I ran up to the bed and grabbed her arm and told her to wake up. She screamed. I screamed. Then I saw my Mickey Mouse electric toothbrush in her hand. I grabbed it, ran out of the room, down the hallway and into my room, slamming the door behind me. I sat on my bed red-faced with anger. Not only had my own mother stolen my most-favorite thing in the world, but now it stunk.
