Meaning of Home

The meaning of home doesn't have to be where you live, it can be your grandparent's house or the volleyball court, but my home is my grandparent's house. The reason is that I recognize it and it makes me feel welcome. My grandparents don't yell at each other; sometimes they will just yell across the room sweetie wanna come dance with me? Then they just dance. When I am at my grandparent's house they always have yummy snacks; my favourite is the pie. My grandfather is in his shed sometimes making little boats and stuff. My mom always helps my grandmother clean the house. The house is a little trailer but I don’t care; it is just like home; it would be too silly to care about the size. Whenever I am there they always have some ice cream that I can munch on, or my favourite cheese sticks; which have a crunchy outside and a cheesy inside. In fact, it's so cheesy that when I rip one it goes like 35 inches. Back to my meaning of home, one time my grandmother said “ sweetie wanna make cookies they can be any shape u want?” Of course, I always said yes. She also just survived cancer, but in the summer she also has a pool. When I go home I always go home with at least one item. This one time during the summer we had gone to my grandmother's and she gave me a four-foot unicorn. It was so cool! One day while I was swimming and talking to my grandmother, she fell off her chair. I was so worried “sweetie I'm fine,” she said. I said “are you sure,” she said “yes”. After that, I was quite scared and worried but it was okay.
