My name is Daniel. I am 11 years old. I am the youngest boy in my family. I have a sister named Jane who is 14 years old. She always shouts at my mom. And I have a father who has really smelly feet. He pollutes our house every time he removes his socks. And I have a mom, a really great mom, who always scolds us to clean. It is a miracle that my ears are still on its place. We are a happy family, and I am living a happy life except that I am having trouble with my mother. I am not the only one who is having a problem with my mom, but our whole family in fact is problematic for her. Both my dad and my sister has a bad habit that of messing the house up. It is wonderful that my mom never gets exhausted of scolding us. After school, when I come back home and relax, my mom keeps on telling me to pick up the clothes and clean my room. I just want to relax and watch TV, but my mom won't give me the remote control until I do what she says. Even when my dad enters our home, throws his socks on the ground, and lie down and read the newspaper on the sofa, my mom snaps his newspaper and hits his head with it until he picks his socks up.
On my birthday, I invited all of my friends to my house. We had a party. My father gave me a soccer ball that I really wanted, and my sister gave me a pencil case and said, "Study hard." But my mom gave me a broom stick as a gift. My mother said, "This is a broom stick that your great father made. It is a treasure of our family." I thought, 'Is my mom a fairy of cleanliness?' I was so disappointed about it. After I received all of the gifts, my friends told me to make a wish. So I whispered, "I don't want to hear my mom scolding, I want my mom to be gone." I had forgotten that my mother had a bright ear. My mom heard my wish and she was so disappointed that she ran up to her room. My sister said, "That was so rude." and my dad said, "I agree that you might hate her scolding, but it was too much to wish your mom to be gone." So I decided to give an apology to my mother tomorrow. But I did not regret my word, because I really hated my mom scolding me.
The next day, I was having a normal life. I enjoyed playing with my friends in the school, but it was a little bit strange that I can not remember that my mom scolded me to clean my bed this morning. When I came back home from the school, I threw my clothes and watched TV, but something was strange. The house was too quiet. I went up the stairs and knocked my mother's room. "Mom?" I said, but it was too quiet. When I opened the door, I was surprised that my mother was not there. It was unusual for me, because my mom always waited for me when I arrive home. I just thought that my mom just went to the market. I was happy that my mom was out. So I freely watched TV, ate snacks and did whatever I wanted to do. In the evening, my dad arrived from his work. He said, "Did your mother came home?" My sister said, "No, I thought you guys are having a sweet time outdoor." My dad said, "Oh, where did she go?" I said, "Maybe, my wish came true~ God heard my wish!" Suddenly, we became happy. We ate whatever we want in the refrigerator, and we messed our room. "It is my happiest day!" I said.
One week past, our house became pig's house. There were no place to stand, smell came from the socks that my dad threw one week ago. Even cockroaches are having a party in the unwashed dishes. It was the first time for me to realize how serious is to become dirty. I wanted to do something, but I didn't know where to start. Even my sister and my dad were in panic about our house so my dad slept in the hotel and my sister lived in her best friends house. I alone was in a pig's house as a member of the clan of cockroaches that inhabit there.
As the time passes, there was a limit. My dad didn't have extra money to sleep in the hotel, and it was not easy for my sister to sleep in her friend's house everyday. So one day, we gathered in the garden of our house and had a meeting. I said, "I don't want to live in this pig's house. I miss my mother." My dad said, "I agree, I can't spend all of my money living in the hotel." My sister said, "Me too, it is too excuse to sleep in my friend's house everyday. I want my house to be clean again. We should do something." So we decided to do something.
