Geraniums of Love

As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother. Every year, my mother went to the same ceremony and had parent-child interviews with the same teachers. The only thing different was the child. And every child _______ an old school traditional activity---the annual plant sale held in early May, just in time for _______Day.

Third grade was the first time that I was allowed to take part in the plant sale. I wanted to surprise my mother. _______, I didn’t have any money. I went to my eldest sister and _______ the secret, and she gave me some money. When I arrived at the plant sale, I carefully made my _______. I agonized(苦苦思索) over that decision, _______ each plant to ensure that I had indeed found the best geranium. The moment I had smuggled it home, with the help of my sister, I _______ it on the upstairs neighbor’s porch. I was very afraid my mother would find it before Mother’s Day, but my sister assured me that she wouldn't, and _______ she did not.

When Mother’s Day arrived, I was bursting with pride when I gave her that geranium. I remember how bright her eyes were, and how delighted she was with my _______.

The year I ________ fifteen, my younger sister reached third grade. In early May, she came to me full of wonder and secrecy and told me that there was going to be a plant sale at school and she wanted to ________ our mother. As my eldest sister did for me, I gave her some money and ________ went my sister. She arrived at home full of ________ excitement, the geranium hidden in a paper bag ________ her sweater. “I looked at every plant,” she explained, “and I know I got the best one!”

I helped my little sister hide that geranium on the upstairs neighbor’s porch, assuring that our mother wouldn’t find it before Mother’s Day. I was there when she gave my mother the geranium and I saw them both bursting with pride and ________. It was like being in a dream I had already dreamed. My mother noticed me ________, and she gave me a soft secret smile. Shocked and puzzled, I ________ back. I had been wondering how my mother could ________ to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child. But as I watched her eyes ________ with delight as she was ________ with that most precious gift, I knew she was not pretending.
