The Meaning of Home

Home is the people I love the most. Dad: My dad makes me spectacular food like cookies, cake, mashed potatoes, pancakes and more! He also reads lots of books to me like Harry Potter, books by David Walliams and sometimes graphic novels. My dad also makes family movie nights for our family, with buttery popcorn straight from the microwave. When the delicious scent enters my nostrils, I just cannot resist taking a buttery bite from the popcorn bowl. My dad puts my brother down for bed, closes the door and turns on the T.V. I hear my brother's white noise. It is relaxing, we always hear it when watching a movie. Once the movie finishes, we all get up, and my dad smiles and says, “time for bed!” Mom: My mom makes me who I am, after all she is the reason I'm alive! My mom always takes care of my brother and I; without her free time would not even exist! I love it when she brushes my hair with her fingers. Her long sharp nails feel so good in my long hair. My mom also always makes my lunch for school every single day at 7:00 am. She also makes amazing cookies... sometimes they are even better than my dads! It’s the absolute best when I take a bite out of it, the warm dough goes in-between my teeth while I chew, it feels so great! I feel the sweet chocolate in my mouth....mmm... so good! Brother: My brother is the person I love the most in the whole world. He is the cutest baby I have ever met in my life! He is three years old and is obsessed with cars and trucks. He loves racing his cars with me. We also love to draw together. I know he is only 3 but he is super smart. He already knows how to talk! My brother is my best friend. I love my family.
