We went for a bike ride
We went camping
I picked brambles
I sang the national anthem
I rode my scooter
We ate lots of icecream
We made pizza
I told jokes
I pulled my little sister’s hair
We played beach volleyball
I stayed up all night
I played computer games with my friends
My little sister rode her tricycle
My father told ghost stories
My mother read thrillers
The dog chased the ducks
I threw stones at the rabbits
My little sister had a tantrum
I practised my drumming
I mowed the lawn
I washed the dishes
I cooked spaghetti for dinner
I swam in the duckpond
I hid my little sister’s teddy bear
I played the harmonica
although it was raining.
wearing woolly scarves.
because it was hot.
laughing dementedly.
whenever I felt like it.
to irritate my mother.
because I was bored.
smiling sweetly.
gurgling happily.
when nobody was looking.
to impress everybody.
although my parents begged me not to.
until we were sick.
if nobody stopped me.
when my cousins were visiting.
until the neighbours complained.
to pass the time.
to surprise my parents.
because my parents nagged me about it.
feeling grumpy.
although it annoyed everyone.
while my parents were sleeping.
because I wanted to.
wearing striped pyjamas.
ignoring my family’s jeers.
