Growing up by Gary Soto

8. She hugged her doll. Something was happening to her, and it could be that she was growing up. When the news ended, and a song began to play, she got up and washed her face without looking at herself in the mirror. That night, the family went out to eat Chinese food. Although her brothers were playing, telling jokes, and spilling a soda, she was happy. She ate a lot, and when her fortune cookie said: “You are mature and sensible”, she had to agree. And so did her father and mother. The family returned home singing the words of “La Bamba” along with the car radio.
