My aunt and I went to a nice resort hotel for a long weekend. There was a beautiful polished oak staircase that ended about ten feet from the swimming pool. There was also a big hall off the pool area, where a wedding reception was taking place. I commented to my aunt that they shouldn't have that kind of staircase so close to the pool, because it is possible the bride could slip and fall into the pool. After we swam for a while, I had to go to the bathroom. So I ran up the oak steps towards our room. I was so glad that I hadn't slipped on the steps that I kicked one leg really high and yelled "TA-DA". I lost my footing and fell backward into the hallway (at least not down the steps). My aunt laughed hysterically and so did I. I laughed so hard that I was just lying there pounding my fist on the carpet. This elderly couple came out of their room, and the man just stepped over me, but the woman ranted and raved about young people who get so Dad blamed drunk and stoned that they lie on hotel floors and laugh all day long. By this time, I REALLY had to poop, so I got up, but since the lady was still watching me, I skipped back to our hotel room. This time, when I went back to the pool, I was smart enough to wear my tennis shoes, and took my aunt her shoes, too.

Renting apartment
A large family, with seven children, moved to a new city. They were having a difficult time finding an apartment to live in. Many apartments were large enough, but the landlords objected to the large family. After several days of searching, the father asked the mother to take the four younger children to visit the cemetery, while he took the older three to find an apartment. After they looked most of the morning, they found a place that was just right.Then the landlord asked the usual question:"How many children do you have?"The father answered with a deep sigh, "Seven...but four are with their dear mother in the cemetery."The landlord, feeling sympathetic towards the man's situation, rented the apartment to him.

MY DEAR GRANDPARENTS
I want to tell you about my grandparents who have been very important in my life.
I remember that every Sunday we went to their house and we used to eat a delicious meal called “cazuela”, which my grandfather used to cook, I also remember; when my cousins and me used to play in the square in front of their house were our children play now.
I remember too, when I was a child, my grandfather always was sitting in the balcony of the house and he was able to see every pranks that we were doing, this was very funny because my cousins and I were very naughty.
They always said that the whole family have to be really close, and they achieved it very well, for that reason one day my grandfather told us that he bought a big house for all the family in the south of Chile, this house is located in front of a beautiful lake were every summer my uncles, cousins, parents and sisters went there and enjoy very much.
This house still exists and we go there every summer but now we go with our husbands and our children and we have never had problems between ourselves and we always said that this house was the best idea that my grandfather had.
Last month was the last party that my grandmother was, this party was her birthday, she was 90 years old and she was very happy and the last thing that she said was that she loves us very much.
They are with God now, my grandfather died 2 years ago and my grandmother died last week and we are very sad for that, but at the same time, very happy and grateful because they have created a beautiful family that will always remember them.
They will be always in my heart.
