The Day I was Home Alone
by a 5th grader
One-day I was home alone when I noticed the front door open. I got scared so I ran up and closed it.
Then the back door opened. I froze; just when I froze someone walked in. You know who it was? My dad.
“You scared me,” I yelled in my loudest voice.
“You can stop screaming,” he said, “or I will give you a spanking.”
“But Dad, you scared me. I am never staying home alone again,” I said.
Then my mom told us she was going to the store. “Do you want to go?”
“As a matter of fact, I do.”
I never was home alone again, unless I wanted to be or when I wanted to watch a scary movie.
One day as I was watching a scary movie while home alone the phone rang. I answered; it was a strange voice saying, “I am in your house, come and find me.”
When I did find the voice it was my dad.
“Oh, I knew it was you, Dad,” I said as I beat him up. “That is what you get.”
