Today at my house, we are having something REALLY special. Today we're having spaghetti! When mum and dad told me that I was squealing with joy. This was my first time have spaghetti. I ate mine with chopsticks, mum and dad with forks while my brother eats it with his little hands. I tried not to stare at him but it's just too hard! I finally finished my meal. While my mum and dad are getting seconds, I glanced at my brother, he was a hot mess! I tried to clean him up or mum will blame it on me. To be true, this was HARDER than trying to get into Oxford University! I had expected him to sit still but no! He had to slap my face with spaghetti! I saw his meatball rolling down the table, I ran after it. It rolled into the garden and went in the hole my brother had dug so I decided to leave it there. The next day I almost fainted. Last night it was raining for so long! This morning when I looked out the window, there was a meatball tree! I wonder what on earth the meatball made of. Oh no, mum is calling me, I bet she is asking me to do the dirty work! I hate spaghetti!!
