My Holiday Recount!!

Woohoo!! I wonder if we are going to do something over the holiday? I asked myself as I was walking along to my bedroom to watch the television. Then my sister would called me to help her to straighten her hair and she would asked me if she should go wash her hair and I yelled at her “GO WASH YOUR HAIR” and she just kept on ask

ing me if she would go wash her hair and I said then when she came back from washing her hair and then I asked her Do you want me to straighten your hair now? she said no you have to wait until my hair is dry.

After that my dad would come back and he would tell us to get into the van and he would drive us to the shopping and when we get to the centre and he would ask us what we would like to eat and then we would go to pak'n'save to do the shopping list next we would go put some fuel into the van and we came back home and take all of the shopping and we put them in the cupboard.

Later when we finish the packing the shopping away then we fry pan some sausages and had that to eat with the hot chips and before we eat we had to wash our hands and pray for the food. Next my dad would be in the kitchen making his own food because he doesn’t like hot chips with sausages and we would all be eating in the kitchen while watching t.v.
