Age: 8

It's a rainy day today and Luke and I are looking at the window to see which raindrop would slide down first.

"My raindrop will win!" I exclaim.

"No, I bet you my raindrop will win." Luke says.

"There's only one way to find out!" I shrug.

We bother looked closely at our raindrop slide down the window and guess who won...

"I WON!" I yelled in victory, "I'm the winner!"

"Well, I'm going to win next time." Luke smiles.

"Kids, it's time for snack!" Mum calls.

"Yay!" Luke and I say together. We both run to the kitchen and I slip right into the chair and lay my hands on the table.

"What's for snack?" Luke asks.

"I baked rainy day cookies!" Mum smiles, setting down a plate of cookies in front of us.

I took one cookie from the pile and looked at it, "I got a raindrop!"

"I got an umbrella!" Luke smiles.

Mum laughed, "Okay. Take a bite out of your cookie and tell me what you think of it."

I did what mum says and a smile grows on my face. "This is really good!"

"Yeah! I love your cookies Mrs. Bascomb." Luke grins.

"Thank you! Maybe next time I can bake cupcakes instead of cookies!" Mum exclaims happily.

"Oh! Can I help?!" I ask.

"Me too! Me too!" Luke says, waving his hand in the air.

"Okay, okay. You both can help me." Mum chuckles.

"Yes!" Luke and I say together.

"But..." Mum starts.

"Aw..." We say together... Again.

"We're going to bake them next time because sadly, I have a lot of work to do in my office." Mum sighs.

"We'll wait for you!" Luke says with a mouthful of cookie crumbs.

I nodded my head, "Yeah! We can wait!"

"All right, well... You two finish your cookies and do something fun. I need to work on my papers." Mum smiles, then says something I couldn't really hear.

"Okay." I say, shoving the cookie in my mouth with Luke doing the same.

"Are you going to get another piece?" I ask, trying to hold back my laughter or else my whole cookie will come flying out of my mouth.

"Who wouldn't?" Luke smiles.

"Luke! Grab more pillows!" I tell him while fixing the blanket.

"I'm on it!" Luke says, crawling out from under the blanket and running out of my room.

Right now, we are building a fort to sleep in since Luke's mum let him sleep over tonight.

"I got the pillows!" I hear Luke yell.

"Okay! Put them in the fort!" I finished fixing the blanket and told Luke that I was going to get the flashlights.

I walked out of the room and into my mum's room, asking her for two flashlights.

"Hm, let me guess... You and Luke are going to do a shadow puppet show?" Mum asks, giving me the flashlights.

I nodded my head and grinned, "Yep!"

Mum laughed, "Don't stay up too late now!"

"We won't mum! Good night!" I tell her.

"Night Desi!" Mum kisses my cheek and I run out of the room and into mine.

"Come on Desi!" Luke says, popping his head out from under the blanket.

"I'm coming!" I say before turning the light switch off on the wall and crawling under the blanket.

I handed Luke one of the flashlight and pulled the blanket over my body, then turned on my light.

"Guess what this is, Luke!" I put my hand into an animal and shine the light on my hand.

"Is it a..." Luke pauses to think, "A rabbit?"

"Ding, ding, ding, ding!" I giggle softly.

My arm starts to get a little tired from building the fort for too long and from holding the flashlight up.

"Okay, my turn!" He makes a fist and shines the light on his hand.

"Is it a..." I yawned. "A rock?"

"No!" Luke giggles. "It's an egg silly!"

"Oh." I smile. "My turn."

I tried putting my hand into a dog but I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open or my hand up. My hand fell onto my tummy and I slowly closed my eyes.

"Desi?" Luke asks quietly.

"Yes Luke?" I say, closing my eyes slowly.

"Oh. Good night. Sweet dreams..." He whispers.

Luke adds something else but I couldn't hear it as I fell asleep.
