FEGG - G13 - Remy - Chapter 2

 I never thought about it as a kid, but the Library...

 Of course that was the place I could find out more about my family!

Mom had actually told me she'd seen a book once written my an ancestor.

 So now I stood here and searched for it. And when I finally found the name "Bookworm" I found out there weren't just only one. There were actually a lot of them.

 The first one I picked was written by Annie Bookworm, and it was really, really old. I didn't even know they had computers back then!

 But that book wasn't really the greatest book to search facts in, since it was a children's book.

I went to the bookshelf and half a minute later, I found something that looked like a biography.

 I sat down and read. It was apperently about my grand-grand-grand-grand-grand, etcetera. As I said, a really long time ago. She had a husband and two daughters and this was a book about her life as a mother.

I read about the daughters, Clementine and Vilhelmina, and it was clearly Annie liked Clementine the most. I was wondering if Vilhelmina or Clementine was my ancestor.

Vilhelmina moved to Aurora Skies and Clementine stayed with Annie. Then I didn't get to know that much more about them.

 So I switched to the computer.

I must say, I found a LOT! Blogs from my ancestors and photos. 

I sat there, reading and watching for hours. Until it was dark outside and I had to get home.

But of course I wrote down all blogs I'd found, so I could check them up later again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 My life as a teenager was so my easier than people said it would've been. I didn't care at all about friends and parties and stuff like that. I enjoyed being home or at the library.

 I also enjoyed playing video games with my brother. We still were the best of friends, and he used to help me searching through blogs and stuff.

 It was really sweet of him, even though I preferred to do it by myself.

 It was also fun to pillowfight. But who doesn't think that?

 Hitting someone with a pillow. Best way to hit someone without getting punished by hurting someone.

 But I almost got punished once. I hit my sister for fun, but she got mad and ran after mom to complain.

Some people don't know how to have fun.

 With dad out in the garden, mom in front of the computer and me at the library, we didn't get that much time together as a family.

The only time we had together was sunday nights. We always had supper together and there was NO excuse to not eat supper with the rest of the family.

My sister had tried to avoid it by sneaking out a few times, but the punishment wasn't that nice. If you were gone at the Sunday Supper, you'd have to do the dishes for two weeks ahead, and that's not fun.

Of course we ate together some of the other days too, but there were always someone missing.

 But I, compared to my sister, enjoyed Sunday Supper. We all sat together and just talked. No hurry at all.

And I used to tell my family about all the fun stuff I'd found at the internet. 

 Everyone listened except my sister, who just rolled her eyes and did everything to ignore me.

Mom enjoyed it. She always asked things and together, we tried to solve our family tree.

 My brother was always quiet, but I knew he also enjoyed it. He was almost as excited as I was about all those family mysteries.

 Since I was a slow eater, I always was the last at the table. 

The whole family just disappeared after eating their food. But I had nothing against being left over. Then I could sit by myself and think about everything we'd been talking about that evening.
