Meaning of Home

I woke up in my comfy pink bed, noticing that it’s a new day. I looked outside of my window which is right next to my bed and I saw snow floating down into my yard. I was surprised to see snow, but when suddenly my mom called me, she said “time for breakfast!” I ran down stairs for breakfast, curious about what it was. When I reached the kitchen table, I saw a single egg lying on my plate. I was disappointed, but when I took a bite, the yolk of the egg exploded in my mouth, I had never tasted anything like that before! At noon, my friend came over and we talked for a while before she left. I went into my yard. My yard was covered in snow like giving a blanket to my yard, I grabbed a handful of snow and ate it, then went back inside. My stuffies were on my couch like they were relaxing. I sat down on my couch with my stuffies, I grabbed my favourite book and started to read. After reading I stood up, but I didn't notice that there was a lamp right above my head:). Suddenly, I heard my front door opening; my dad came home from work! He was holding a gigantic cake. I hugged my dad and ate the cake, the flavor of the cake exploded in my mouth! It tasted like chocolate with a hint of banana. It was night when I finished eating, my parents went to my room with me, I walked to my pink comfy bed. There is a silver tent with white stars on it. I layed down on my bed hugging my penguin stuffie. My mom kissed me goodnight. I fell asleep listening to my mom’s footsteps became fainter.
