A Day With My Family

Jumping up and down my family is working all around. Chitty Chatter, Indian clatter no one is wearing a frown.

Mummy is cooking a Indian feast for my relatives that are arriving from the far east.

The doorbell rang, "Who's there," asked my dad. Down the steps I ran, stumbled on the last step and fell with a loud BANG!!!

Near the door stood a family of three wanting to hug Mum, Dad, my brother and me. Getting to know them was such a pleasure. Oh the time that had passed we couldn't measure.

Oh my, what is the time, it's almost past my bedtime. Brushing my teeth, jumping into bed, today I had a great time.
