Matilda's description of father by María Caram

Well my name is matilda. I'm a little girl. I don’t get on well with my father.

My father and I are very different. I think he is very dishonest. He cheats people in order to sell them old and useless second hand cars. I think that the money he earns is dirty money. I was very disappointed when I first heard what my father did to sell cars. I think it is not good to hate parents, but in some moments I hate them, so I decided to punish them with some inoffensive jokes. I wanted revenge.One day I put superglue into my father’s hat so then he couldn’t take it off.

In my family we do not eat in the table and talk as every family does. We eat in front of the telly eating from our knees. My father is very jealous because I love reading and he can’t enjoy books. He is ignorant. He doesn’t care about me. He forgot I had to start going to the school so I started when I was five and a half.

I could see that my father changed with my punishments so I am going to teach him how to behave with me. I’m his daughter not a little twit as he always says.

Very good piece of writing, congratulation !! Good Job!! Well Done!!!
