There are a lot of events and memories that I have had with incidents with my mom telling me not to do something, and then I go and do it anyway. And more than likely, a lot of the times I got caught for it. These memories remind me of a fairy tale I read.

          There has been many times when I have been having friends stay the night

 or something. My mom would always tell us-no going outside after curfew. We

 would never listen to her. We would all sneak out of the house, to go outside,

 and just mess around. We always told ourselves that we would not get into

 trouble. There were a few times, though, where we did end up getting caught.

          We are lucky though, because one of the nights that we decided to leave the house, we just went for a stroll around the block. After we had been out there for a while, and we were about ready to go inside, a cop drove up right beside us and asked where we were heading to and we told him that we were having problems with a friend, and so we were talking. We told him that all we walked to was around the circle of the block. He said for us to not be out too much longer and get going back inside. We did after a while longer.

          That is just an example of some memories of doing something when I was told not to. That just goes along with the fairy tale I just got done reading, The Little Red Cap. In it, the mother was telling her daughter to go straight to her grandmother’s house and to not stop and talk with anybody or stop to do anything else. She obviously didn’t listen there, and that is just an example of what I have done.

          I think that these fairy tales have a lot to do with life. They also teach you many lessons, like ] the one I was just talking about, how not listening and doing something you were told not to do, can back fire on you. I’ve learned that, just like the people in the fairy tale have.
