"Hello dear! Are you ready for work today?" I hear 

mom ask from the kitchen.

"Oh yes, honey. I should be home around four, as 

soon as the bank closes." dad answers.

"Alright dear, I hope you have a great day! I love 

you." mom replies quickly.

It's the same old day, they tell each other they love 

them. And then dad leaves for work and mom leaves 

to go to the hospital. But somehow, this day seems 

different.

You arrive home a little earlier than normal. I 

begin to worry.

"Daddy! Daddy! What's wrong?" I ask you.

"Oh honey, don't you worry about it. You're too 

young to understand." you reply.

I know you're not telling the truth, and I will 

find out what is wrong one way or another.

I go into my room and think about what you 

said. 

"You're too young to understand.." those words 

keep repeating themselves over and over again 

in my head.

What could it be? Did I do something wrong? 

Did something happen with mom? Did 

something bad happen at work? 

I need to know.

I hear mom come home so I sneak my way to 

the kitchen door. I can hear you guys talking.

"Honey, the stock market crashed today. We 

lost everything. I don't know if I can keep the 

house." dad says.

"What are we going to do?! All of our money is 

gone!! How will we live?! How will our 

daughter finish school?!?!" mom says.

I slowly creep off into my room and cry myself 

to sleep.
