I became excited. And Christian laughed. A silence fell upon the room then,
"That air must be ticking you." Christian said to Eugene, referring to my legs.
"Yeah.. It's still air." Eugene said, lifting my leg. I pouted and pulled my legs back.
"So light.." Eugene mumbled and they both began to laugh. I gasped and complained to Mother, "Mother! They are joking about my weight."
"Don't. Even if she is light as air. Don't say anything. She'll soon gain weight." Mother scolded them but I felt like even she was joking about my weight.
"Even Aunt agrees." Christian laughed.
"Sophie, the wind is fast outside, don't go." Eugene joke.
"Then we should tie her to the pole so that she won't fly away." and Christian participated.
"What if the force crushed her?" They both were laughing. I sat up and stood up and sat beside Mother.
