I was 8 years old then. I had little need of luggage. But something about my grandma's old leather suitcase, which had been there beneath my bed, appealed to my imagination. The cracked (有裂纹的)handle felt firm in my hand and made me feel like I was going to places. But I hadn't used the old suitcase before that day.
It was a fall morning in our North Carolina town, and a fine mist dampened the fallen leaves. I was angry. My mother had slighted (冷落) me somehow, though now I have no idea what caused my anger. I wanted to make her pay. I decided to run away.
I said, "Goodbye, Mom. "I stood outside the kitchen door with the suitcase firmly in my hand. "Goodbye, Mom," I repeated twice more. At last, Mom emerged, wiping her hands on a dish towel. I lifted the suitcase a little just to make sure she didn't miss it. "I'm leaving home," I said. The plan was to let her suffer guilt and beg for a minute or two, and then I would agree to stay.
"Did you pack lunch?" Mom's question knocked me off balance. "Isaid I'm leaving. I'm running away. Forever!" I said. Instead, she smiled and said, "Well, would you like me to fix you something? I just made chocolate chip cookies. ""Maybe a cookie. "I hesitated. "All right, I'm off. "As I stepped onto the front walk, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie tucked (被塞入) into my coat pocket, I looked back at our big yellow house.
Surely, she would follow me. I stared at the front door, waiting for it to be opened. I watched the lace curtains in the living room window for movement. But, no! Not even a flicker (摇曳) of a curtain! My mother didn't care if I ran away. Had she ever loved me at all? So I had nothing to do but go on walking away. I got to the sidewalk and took a right turn, moving slowly on. I had traveled 150 feet before I stopped. I had no idea what would come next, blank and frustrated. I took a bite of the still-moist cookie, put it back into my pocket, and decided that my mother deserved one last chance. I turned around and moved back to the house, leather suitcase swinging like a swing. A moment later, I was back at home.
