Composition: A Terrible Stomachache My mom was always forgetful about washing her hands before eating. I would always remind her, but she never listened. (Unless she has changed, you can write this part in present tense - it’s what she always does) A few days ago, Mom woke up feeling awful, she was shivering, pale, and had a terrible stomachache. "My belly aches like heck!" she mumbled. I was like, "Did you brush your teeth last night?" She went, "Yes, but I'm afraid I didn't wash my hands before dinner." I suggested she see a doctor, but she didn't go anyway. Dad sorted out some medicine for her and put her to sleep for the whole day. The key was to drink a lot of water, just think of it like some sort of antidote. The pain faded away quickly. By night, Mom had recovered as if nothing had happened. From now on, I'll definitely keep an eye out and make sure we all wash our hands before eating!
