CLOZE

MY mother used to say things just to make me mad. Like most teenagers, I thought I knew everything. And what I didn’t know, I didn’t want to be   1  . For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would   2   her eyes. On my way out, she’d shout: “You need to   3   yourself down before something bad happens! You don’t want to learn that the   4   way!” I didn’t know what that meant. I thought she just wanted me to stay home.

      Many years later I had three teenagers of my own. They thought they knew   5  . I would say the same things to them like my mom. That’s when I first saw   6  . My mother wasn’t trying to make me stay at home. She was trying to   7   me.

Why do we always have to learn things “the hard way”?   8   can’t we just accept our elders’ wisdom? It’s a good lesson for anyone. Obviously, I still haven’t learned it.

    Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone ringing in the kitchen. Grabbing a towel, I ran through the house. I grabbed the phone and   9   my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I’d broken two toes.
