All Mothers are Omniscient
It was new years the year of 2010 was to come to an end. I had planned a new year's party at my house that consisted of family members such as my 2 aunts, 2 uncles, my brother, mother, father, sister, and our only dog. Everyone was in and out of the house going up and down the stairs it was a slightly chaotic but completely enjoyable. Usually everyone was in the backyard where my uncle was barbequing. Everybody was having a blast that is until my youngest cousin started to complain about a smell.
I remember distinctly how unpleasant the odor smelled it made me feel sick to my stomach. I remember being upstairs while my cousin complained about the smell I ran quickly down the stairs to see what the issue was about. It was fluffy; our dog he had thrown up on a rug in the living room. All I could think about was to get the dog into the backyard because if he stayed inside vomiting my mom would make him feel worse than he already did. Once the dog stopped I carefully put him outside and then I asked everyone who was outside how this could have happened. My uncle said he had given the dog raw bacon I wanted to shriek at him; I mean who in there right mind gives dog raw bacon, because I had told him not to feed fluffy any meat that he was barbequing. I knew I shouldn't have trusted him, he always gives fluffy human food like: eggnog, milk, bread, eggs, and now bacon. I hate him! I wanted to tell him that I entirely despised him at that moment but I restrained myself. My mom gave me that look, the look all mothers give their children when they have done something wrong and they should know better but I did not do anything wrong why was she giving me that look? Then it hit me I understood why she knew it was not my uncle`s fault but mine. It was my job to take care of the dog not my uncles. I should have stayed down stairs watching the dog I had no one to blame but myself.
I felt ashamed because after all the only reason I was allowed to have fluffy was because I swore to take care of him no matter what happened. I regret that I did not take care of him during the party. My parents told me not to worry about fluffy but I should have known better I had no one to blame but myself, fluffy was vomiting because of me. I regretted thinking about the hatred I had put towards my uncle I knew I had not said it out loud and hurt my uncle`s feelings but I felt just as bad thinking I despised him when clearly I was at fault. I should have made sure that fluffy was not doing something he should not be doing. I even felt more ashamed of how I reacted to my uncle not taking care of fluffy and ever more ashamed about a simple fact that could be going through his minds "if she can not take care of her own dog how can she take care of her own cousins?" I had no one to blame but myself.
I eventually learned that mistakes happen to everyone and I promised myself that fluffy would be my first priority. I felt more responsibilities on my shoulder that day than the day I had gotten him. I made sure from that day on that the dog was fed and walked every single day and I have not stopped till this very day. Looking back on that day I feel ignorant for not considering whose responsibility the dog`s was and for not knowing what it means to take care of a dog and now when I see the effect the party had I feel slightly better.
