Reflection

One day, I was checking a twisted ponytail with the 2-mirror trick. Holding up the mirror to my face, I looked over my shoulder to see the ponytail. Perfect.

Just as I was putting the mirror away, I looked in it, and saw Mama. I could see her face in mine. The same shape of neck, the eyebrows. I gently placed the mirror down and thought,

When people tell me I look like her, I never take it seriously, just as a compliment. But now, I understand the true meaning of those words. I look like her, and I am like her.

I smiled at my little secret and walked out of the room, back straight, chin up. I was proud of my new discovery.
