Recuerdos de mi infancia Por Dalia Cázares

De niña, yo era una persona bien educada y me llevaba bien con todo el mundo. Mi hermano era muy consentido y travieso. Mis padres le hacían sacar la basura y arreglar su cama, pero él nunca lo hacía. Por otro lado, como yo, mi hermana era muy obediente y se portaba bien. Nosotras hacíamos todo juntas. Mi hermana y yo siempre jugábamos con las muñecas. Mi hermano tenía una gran colección de trenes y dinosaurios pero a él no le gustaba jugar con nosotras. Todos los días, yo charlaba con mis amiguitas en el patio de recreo. No quería jugar porqué nunca aprendí a saltar la cuerda. Como vivíamos cerca de la playa, siempre íbamos allí para disfrutar de nuestro bote de vela. Recuerdo que había un quiosco donde yo iba a comprar mis revistas favoritas. Frecuentemente, organizábamos reuniones con todos mis parientes. Llevábamos comida para asar y nos quedábamos hasta la noche. Pero, los días festivos eran mis favoritos. Me encantaba participar en los desfiles. Todos nos vestíamos con ropa típica e íbamos alrededor de la ciudad. Por la noche, nos reuníamos en la casa de nuestros vecinos y veíamos los fuegos artificiales. ¡Eran los mejores!
