As it was almost the summer holiday time, and I was only in the ninth class, i thought i could go out with my friends a lot. When it was the last day of the school, we got our report cards and i saw, that my marks got worse, than in January. I took it home, and i tried to explain to my parents, that this doesn't count too much, but that's when my mother got mad:
"If that didn't count for you, then you don't really deserve your holiday. You either start re-learning all your subjects or you find yourself soon in a bad position."
I didn't take care about this too much, and I start organising my plans for my holiday. I told my mother, that I accepted my best friend's invitation for a party which will be at the next weekend, so i won't be at home for three days.
"Thats when she got really angry, and said: ,,Are you sure it is good to learn nothing and just have fun always?",,Calm down, I will catch up in learning in the last days, but i couldn't say no",,I will teach you a lesson. You will know how to way no, I am sure"
Days went the same as before, when Friday morning came, it was time to leave i said goodbye to my parents. Thats what they were waiting for. Two days before, my mother gave a list to my father what to order and the items arrived just some hours later, than I left the house. My father and my two brothers took everything up to my room and started making my new bedroom. During that time, my mother discovered several drogerie shops, and bought two different boxes of pampers diapers (4x64), babyfood, pacifiers, cremes, so everything a baby would need. When i arrived home on Sunday evening, I didn't expect too much.
I opened the door (my brothers spectate me from one of our windows, and yelled my parents, that i will arrive in a few seconds) and my parents greeted me and asked how was the party, and if everything was fine. I did answer the questions, and i was so thirsty, that i asked immediately for the glass of water which was in my mothers hand and asked if there is something for dinner.
My mother told me, that it was not ready yet, but they weren't finished talking yet. With that said, they told me to follow them and sit on the sofa in the living room. and my father made a speach.
,,My son, it is not good, that you didn't follow the rules, and you didn't learn anything in June, just prepare for partys as at the end of the school year. Your brothers reached 5 in every subject, but you almost failed in three.
Your mother and me decided to teach you everything from the start."
"What do you mean, from the start?" - I replied back a bit worried.
