Meaning of Home

When Bob goes into his house, he hears the loud TV on and smells his mom’s homemade sweets. She is a 5-Star cook on 105.1 FM along with John Tesh and Brett Nash. It is a typical day at the house, and then, Bob did something he’ll never forget. Jaime (his mom) pulled 50 of the biggest, most luscious cookies you would ever taste. Bob asked “Can I please try one?” “Not yet, Bobby”, answered his mom. Then the phone rang. As Jaime went to get the phone, Bob said ”Not yet, schmot schmet”, and took the biggest one. He took a huge bite of it. The cookie was gone in 2 bites. Before his mom came back, he smeared chocolate all over his cat, Pickrod. When Jaime came back, the 1st thing she heard was Bob panicking. “I think Pickrod ate one of your cookies!!!" Jaime picked Pickrod up and rushed him to the vet. As they left, Bob suddenly… he felt really bad. He loved Pickrod more than his mom loved baking. If the surgeons did something wrong, Pickrod could end up in the clouds. Bob made himself a promise: The second Jaime came home, with or without Pickrod, he would confess. He would confess that it was him that ate the cookie, and that she could do anything she wanted to him. 1 hour later, Jaime came back with a sick-looking Pickrod. Bob got ready to confess. “Mom, I have something to say. I ate your cookie. I just could not wait. Now… I feel alone”. “Oh Bobby, you know that home is a place where you are never alone.” Said Jaime. “ So… you won't kill me? Asked a scared Bob. “Of course not”. Said Jaime. And they lived happily ever after.
