Hanukkah Disaster

One day there was a girl named Hannah and she went to her aunt’s house to celebrate Hanukkah. First, she woke up and she was wondering what kind of clothes she could wear to her aunt’s house. Then she was thinking she could wear the white blouse. Then she got her red sweater and white pants on. Then she went to the bathroom and got her toothbrush and toothpaste out.

Then she got a ponytail band and put her hair in a braid. Then she went downstairs and sat down at the breakfast table. A bowl of cereal was in front of her. Then her mom proudly said, “ Honey, are you excited to go to your aunt’s house?”

Hannah said “I’m super excited to go to Aunt Kristie’s house!” Then her mom sat down and she got the cereal box and poured cereal in the bowl. Then they started talking and her dad came downstairs in his pajamas. Hannah asked, “ Why are you still in your pajamas?”

He mumbled, “Today is Friday isn’t it?”

Then Hannah interrupted, “No it’s Saturday. Dad, are you even packed yet?”

Then he said, “I forgot we were going to Kristie’s house to celebrate Hanukkah!”

Her mom said, “This is a disaster!!!” Then her dad quickly zoomed up liked a cheetah running after its prey. He got dressed and packed everything up and got out of his room. Suddenly, he came downstairs and whoosh, everything came out of his suitcase! Then Hannah gasped.

She came over and helped him picked his clothes up. Everything was back to normal, until Hannah’s friend Kylie came over to hang with her.  Hannah came to the door and said, “Hi Kylie!!!” Then Kylie came in and greeted Hannah’s parents. Hannah pushed Kylie out the door and said “Bye” fast because Hannah and her parents had to hurry up to see Aunt Kristie. “What time do we have until we go to Aunt Kristie’s house?”

Mom said, “Maybe we should leave now!”

Then Hannah said, “Yay let’s leave now!”

Then Hannah and her parents got their coats and went straight to their car.  Her dad backed up and drove away.  He got on the highway and he drove like a maniac. While he was driving he  got a flat tire.  He gasped and said, “Are you kidding me?”  He got his tools out and fixed the tire. Then they got back on the highway and started driving again.

They finally arrived at the house and walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Aunt Kristie opened the door and gave them an exciting greeting. They all walked upstairs and unpacked their suitcases. All of them got in their pajamas. They all walked upstairs and went to their room to go to bed.

The next morning, they all woke up and went downstairs to have breakfast. Aunt Kristie went to the cabinet and she got the recipe for latkes.
