My mother has never lost it with us kids, but my father has. He gets very angry when we don’t keep a promise we made to him. You don’t want to see what happens when he loses it.

night.

During the easiest test of the semester, I lost it. I can’t believe I couldn’t even remember my student ID number to put on the test. This has never happened to me before.
