If Home Were the Five Senses

If home was a touch it would feel like the warm fur of my stuffies laying on my soft bed. My favorite stuffy is a white unicorn with a gold horn that my dad got for me when I was five and I’ve loved it ever since. If home was a smell it would smell like the sweets my sister and I buy and eat every day together. We like to buy chocolate, sour candy and gummies. My favorite candy is anything sour. If home was a sound it would be the sound of me and my family laughing when my sister and I are being silly and funny when we play games.My mom and dad giggle at me and my sister. If home was a taste it would be the taste of my Nana’s baked goods she brings to my home and on Christmas when we come up to her house.She bakes lemon meringue pie, cakes and cookies like chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. If home was a sight it would be my dog sleeping on the floor and the carpet. He will cuddle up to you in a ball.He was black, he loved licking you, he loved to sleep and most of all, he loved us. Home is all these things to me.
