Y'know, some kids have dreams. Some of them, people see as unreachable. To be A rock star, or an astronaut. All outlandish. Some people dream of meeting their favourite celebrity. That was my one and only dream. To meet The Wiggles.
This is how I accomplished my dream, and met my biggest idols in life.
It all happened one day after school. I was returning to my household of 8 people, including my single mother and her 6 other kids. I was the oldest, of course. The house was cozy, but we did struggle to make ends meet most of the time.
I heard my mother call out my name as I stepped into the warm house. "Mikaylakinne!"
I replied with a noncommittal groan, kicking my shoes off by the door. I heard my mother tell me to come up to my room, and naturally, I obliged.
Upon entering my room, I was shocked to see it almost empty. "What on earth happened?"
"You're leaving."
"But why?"
"Because it's too expensive to have you here. I have sold you."
Shock. All I could feel was shock.
"Go down to the living room and meet your new owners. I have packed your suitcase for you."
I nodded and stumbled down the stairs to the living room to see who I would be living with. Pausing in the doorway, I could see four people on my couch.
Oh. My. God.
The Wiggles were sitting in my living room.
