What were you most afraid of as children? I remember when I was little, my mother was always scared for no reason, as if she was seeing a ghost. Every time my mother gets scared, she always hugs me and says, "Don't worry, kid, my mother won't let anything happen to you, it won't happen." I don't know why my mother is afraid. She is usually very courageous. Looking back carefully, every time my mother is afraid, it is after receiving a phone call. My mother would cry for no reason after receiving the phone call, but she never hurt me. I remember the most serious time, when all my relatives came over, my mother told me that the adults wanted to talk about something and asked me to go back to my room. She also emphasized, "No eavesdropping." My mother and relatives talked for a long time, and I kept waiting in the room. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I was afraid that I would hear their conversation when I went out, so I could only endure it. My mother opened the door and asked me if I was eavesdropping. I told my mother no, and my mother asked me if I was hungry. I said with a red face, "I want to go to the toilet." My mother's tears suddenly fell down, and she said, "I'm sorry." After I went to the toilet, I walked up to my mother and asked her, "Mom, did I do something wrong?" The mother choked and said, "No, kid, you did nothing wrong." "Then why is mom crying?" "Nothing, nothing..." Mom wasn't talking, and I wasn't asking. After a while, my mother suddenly asked me: "Baby, can you promise me something?"
