Writing exercise

When I was a child. Maybe a ghost. When I was a child I got a fever. My mother and grandma took eight chopsticks and tied them together and my mother asked questions in to the air. She asked many questions. Then she asked my grandpa, he died many years ago. She asked him “do you miss us very much? If yes, spin the chopsticks twice, if no just once.” The chopsticks in my mother’s and grandma’s hands spun twice. Then after that my grandma would say that ” if we go to see you and brung some money to you would you leave us? If yes, spin the chopsticks twice.” Then the chopsticks spin twice. Then my mom and grandma told me to blow the chopsticks again and then finished.
