There is no perfect household

What home means to me is chaos. This is a typical scene in my house. It's 4:00 on a Monday afternoon. My mom is on a video call with her boss for half an hour, and she’s multitasking by rolling out her back while on the call. I am, for no reason at all, watching Community on the television while playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch and I am winning, while still being able to follow what Troy and Abed are up to. My Dad is making the best dish he cooks, shepherd's pie with an Indian twist. He makes keema, which is a dish made with minced meat, traditionally lamb with peas and another couple of types of vegetables and puts it in the mashed potatoes cover to make it shepherd’s pie. My sister has two different friends over and she is complaining about me using the TV and the switch. There is always a lot going on in my house, I love that and it is what home means to me.
