Writing Recount

My Recount

This Is my recount. Over the past couple weeks we have been working on writing a recount. I choose the time my little brother was born. It was a funny and heart filled 48 hours.

enjoy.

The day my little brother( MJ) was born. It was the 23rd of June. In Christchurch Women's Hospital is where my mum gave birth to Mj. I wasn’t there because I was at the farm with my uncle Terry.

First my mums water broke. I honestly thought she was going to die but she told me that she wasn’t going to. She asked me to grab her phone so she could call the midwife. They agreed on a time to meet at the hospital. My dad was at work at the time so he didn’t know. She backed her bag and all us kids packed ours.

On the way to the hospital mum dropped us off at the farm where our uncle Terry lived. Mum said we had to stay with him. If we were good then we would get ice cream so I was on my best behaviour. I was a bit scared for mum but I knew she was going to be fine.   

Then my mum gave birth. Before she left she told me that everything was going to be fine and within 48 hours I will have a little brother. I was pretty excited that I was going to get the day off school. I guess getting a new brother was cool but I didn’t really like the thought of it as I knew he would take all the attention because my brother said thats what happened with me. I was only 6 so I didn’t know what to think about a new baby.  I don’t know what time but she had Mj by the next day so we got the day off school! My dad said that she was screaming a lot.

Finally me and my siblings got to meet our new  little brother. I mean he was cute and all but I just wanted to take a nap. He wouldn’t stop crying so it was pretty hard.

I mean MJ is a great brother and all but I would really like my place in mums bed back as he kicked me out!

Reflection:

I think that I created an interesting piece of writing because… I used my resources to help me make it better. I made sure that I used my raw feelings to make it more funny.
