Everyday Math (Achievement #9 = 3 points + 3 points)

When my mother asked me

1 + 1 I smile and say

Its equals 3

Supposed to be 2

But, its an old scheme already

I answered her very proudly

She was furious and instruct me

To stand at the corner

Until 4 in the afternoon

My 5 siblings laughing at me

6 flowers in the garden swaying

To tease me.

I feel my legs hurting

Relieved when she says

Time is up.

My father comes back at 7

We kiss him in the cheeks

One by one

8 plates were ready at the table

We tucked in bed at 9

I count up to 10

Close my eyes and ready

To visit my dream land.
