My sister and I would argue over who could eat the chocolate bars. Looking back, I don't know why we just didn't share. We could have split them”, said Carla Hall.
She holds her hair back with sunglasses, in summer and in winter. After spending even a short time with her, one can't help but think of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, who believed that the manufacture of flavors -- particularly the sweet and flashy ones that go into candy, chewing gum, and marshmallow -- demands a childlike openness. At the end of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Wonka tells Charlie Bucket that an adult could never run his factory. "Mind you, there are thousands of clever men who would give anything for the chance to come in and take over from me, but I don't want that sort of person," he says. "I don't want a grown-up person at all."

Everything was perfect, I was getting my chores done and having fun at the same time. Life was pretty good at that particular moment; everyone would agree that this was the best idea of the day, everyone except my parents of course. Just as the home team was about to claim victory in the Morgan Street plum war of the century, It happened. No one knew which one of us actually threw the fatal plum into the air, several of us had let go of our fruit bombs at the same time and they collided in mid air, right above an approaching vehicle, landing on my parent’s vehicle. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed the kids in the neighborhood disappear so quickly before, leaving only Shelli and I to explain our logic.

The author was seventeen when her mother died of breast cancer causing Edelman great pain. Her mother did everything around the house when she was alive, so her passing caused a lack of discipline with the children and there were no more chores for any of the siblings. Nannies were suddenly walking in through the front door daily.
