Home: The Story

By: Daniel Folusho-Oyegoke A home is a place for family to come together and make special memories. The family wakes up in the morning and eats breakfast at the table. Dad says “Bye guys! I’m going to work. Be careful.” Then the Mom gets a kiss on the cheek. When Dad leaves, Mom takes their son James to school. “Bye James! Have a good day!” Mom says. Then James gets a kiss on the cheek. “Mom, you're embarrassing me!” James whispers to his Mom. 3 hours later, it's lunchtime! The bully at school named Isom comes to bully James and his friend Camon. “What do you want, bully!” James yells vigorously at Isom. “Got any lunch money kid?” Isom says with anger. “No…?” Camon says with fear. Then Isom leaves with a grin on his face. At home Mom is cooking dinner for the family “I'm making your favorite honey!... dumplings!” Mom says happily. “Whatever.” replies James unhappily. “I wish I could stay home all day” James groans. “Well there is no place like home” Mom says. “Yeah” groans James. The next day… “I can't believe we have to go back to school today!” Camon, James' friend, groans. “I wish we could go home again” groans James. “Well there is no place like home” Camon says. “Yeah” James says. 7 hours later... “Son!” Dad calls out to James. “let me tell you about something” Dad whispers to James. “Yeah?” James replied. “When you grow up I want you to do something for me” Dad says. “Yeah” replies James. “I want you to always come back home when you go outside. Home is the best place to be. If there was a tornado where would you go?” Dad asked... “The basement?” James answered. “Yeah and where is the basement?” Dad asked. James thought for a moment. “Uh… Home?” “Correct!” Dad replied. “The point is always to come home.” Dad says. “Ok” replied James. The End
