A Home

How can you take 2 letters from 5 and have 4? I told my family that riddle in the middle of the family room on that Thursday night, they all laughed when I told them the answer. We don’t usually tell jokes but it is always nice when I see smiles on there faces laughing at my jokes. Anyways this is what a home means to me. First, somewhere you feel safe. A home is something where you should feel safe, and a home is not necessarily just walls and a roof, a home is a place (anywhere in the world) where you feel safe and cozy. Also a home is something you would consider saying “this is my home”. Next, somewhere you feel happy. In a home, you should feel happy. This environment that is considered a home you should be happy and feel special a lot of the time, and feeling happy and special in such a space would be delightful to experience because who doesn't like being happy anyways? Finally, being with family in a home you should have a family to be happy and feel more not alone so you can have company which is always nice to see your loved ones. Being with family is one of the best feelings ever and that’s what a home should be like and feel like all of the time. In conclusion, being with family, and feeling safe is what I think a home is.(Oh and by the way the answer to the joke is just take away the letters F and E from five and you have iv which is 4 in Roman Numerals).
