Pretending to Sleep
Tap any word to see what it means.
.
On Saturday morning, Mom opened our bedroom door and asked who was coming to the market with her.
.
I pretended to be asleep under the covers.
.
Next to me, my little brother was keeping his eyes shut tight too.
.
Mom sighed and closed the door.
.
But a moment later, we heard Mom's voice again from the living room.
.
She said that if we came along, she'd buy us tteokbokki.
.
My brother and I shot up at the same time.
.
Mom looked at us and laughed.
.
She'd known all along that we were only pretending to sleep.
.
That day, I was the one who carried the heavy shopping bag.
.
My brother ate more of the tteokbokki, though.
