The Broadest Smile Ever
Circa 1996
I am Angel-Eyes. Everyone just calls me Angel, but my full name is Angel-Eyes.
I go to a really nice school now. It’s called Rosmead Remedial School. The classes are really small and none of the kids tease me like they did in Sunnyside and Heatherdale. The teachers are very nice too. I enjoy it. I’m starting to make friends with some of the other kids in the school.
I’m happy at home too. Mummy loves me, she’s just met Uncle Ivan and we get along very well. I’m already taller than her. I do a lot of work around the house, and spend a lot of my time looking after the little boys. I change them when they poo in their diapers, dress them, and bathe them. I also cook for everyone. It sounds like a lot of work, but, I love it, it’s so much fun.
Pa takes me into town a lot with him and spoils me with ice cream. I love that.
I smile a lot. I know it’s a funny thing to say, and I don’t even notice it, but everyone says I have the biggest, brightest smile they’ve ever seen.
