“Typhoid Fever– Present Tense Childhood Memory”

I am 9 years old and walking back from school with my sister. As we are walking, my sister gets lazy and asks me to give her a piggyback ride. Now I'm thinking, "No, you can walk!", but as usual she hits me if she doesn't get her way. So she hops on and we begin to walk again. On the way, she sees her friends walking back. She waves at them and they wave back. While she waves, she squeezes her legs into my ribs. It begins to hurt. I let go of her making her lose her balance and falls straight on her. I'm looking at her trying to catch her breath. The fall causes her to lose her breath and back problems.
