"Hora de cenar Adriana!" I heard my mother shout. Me and my friends had just finished school and were talking under a particularly large palm tree. I sighed half rolling my eyes half gasping. How could my mama yell so loud everyone in town must have heard her.

                  "Well adios my friends" i said. I love my mother but WHY DO WE EAT WAY TO EARLY? Everyone else in our town Santa poco ate way later! I trudged home my light weight capris dirty from the days romping. I loved my town the sights, the landscapes and even the townspeople.  they could be grumpy...really grumpy all the time but when they were in a good mood, were the best of people. My brother Carlos,papa and mama were surely angry at me for taking so long but i couldn't help it. The ocean breeze swayed my wavy sun tanned brown hair and tickled my face. I smiled, i loved being out in nicaragua at this time. When i reached my house door i gasped! Aunt Valentina and Uncle Diego were sitting in the living room talking to my mama and papa! I rushed through the door. "Auntie"! I shouted i rushed to her side and gave her a big air stopping hug. Then i quickly hugged my uncle hoping no one noticed my favor for my auntie. After all the hugs and kisses were done we sat down to a huge dinner my mama had prepared.There was so much food! After dinner I was hoping i didn't have to do the dishes, who wants too? I quickly got into a deep conversation with Auntie...or Valentina, whatever. I love my Aunt she is the best! she is kind, funny, loyal, and most of all she actually listens to me! My mom and dad are work...a lot. They are either doing their jobs or helping people in the village. We moved from the northern part of Nicaragua to the southern. It's OK but I don't wanna sound selfish, believe me! It's just that Mom and dad are always busy. I wish they would hang with me sometimes...OK never mind that sounded super selfish! 

                "Adriana hello?" my dads words cut through my daze like a knife through butter. 

                 "Sorry" i said "I was just...thinking." 

                "Well sorry to interrupt your thinking but your aunt and uncle are leaving" Dad said with a slight playfulness in his voice, like someone i know! My brother Carlos definitely takes after his dad, Mischievous and of course annoying! I quickly snapped out of my thinking and ran to hug my aunt and uncle."I'm going to miss you guys so much!" i said. After they left i spent the rest of the afternoon doing the dishes.
