I haven't told you about that day that I was a mirror! Well then, let me explain. One night I fell asleep against the wall in our hall because I was really, really tired. In the morning I woke up and I was on the wall. What was I doing on the wall? Oh no no no, I was a mirror. I could still think and see, but I didn't have ears or eyes. I couldn't move, which made me upset. I like to be able to move.
I would've cried if I could. What if I was never able to turn back into my old self. Then I saw someone looking at me. It was my sister. I was hoping that she knew it was me, but no she was just looking at her own reflection. She smiled then got something out of her teeth. She didn't seem to notice that there was a new mirror on the wall. She did her hair then shrugged and redid it. She finally looked satisfied and left. Then my brother came by and looked at the mirror too. He looked really tired, but he still told his reflection "Your looking handsome today Benjamin." He started to turn away then he stopped looked back at the mirror and called to my mom "Mom did you get a new mirror? I haven't noticed it."
"No" my mom said. "Where is it?"
"Its here in the hall."
"I don't know where that came from. It's lovely though."
"Maybe dad put it there." Ben said
"Maybe, he didn't say anything about it. Oh well we'll have to figure that out later." This whole time I wanted to scream at them that no I was the mirror and yes it was lovely wasn't it? But no such luck they walked away changing the subject to breakfast. Later I heard them saying "were is Maire?" "Shes probably sleeping in." "Yeah she probably is." My mom had somebody go out and get me out of my room. They came back and said I wasn't there. My mom thought that maybe I was already up, but I was nowhere to be found.
This went on all day and I had to watch it all. It was as if I was dead. Everybody was looking around like crazy trying to find me. Finally by the end of the day everybody went to sleep. I soon fell asleep and when I woke up I was leaning up against the glass and I fell through. The glass broke! I was once again in human form! I had all these pieces of glass on and in my clothes. As you can guess it wasn't very comfortable. I got cleaned up and and went to my room to take a morning nap.
My favorite part was when Joshua called himself Benjamin.
