The moment the taxi left me on the familiar doorstep of my house, I took a deep breath.
This is a surprise for my parents.
Knock
"Coming!" My father's voice shouted from inside. He sounds good.
"Ye- HOLY MOTHER OF RAINBOWS! ANNA! OUR BABY DAUGHTER IS HERE!" My dad screamed.
I was actually planning on turning back and leaving the embarrassing guy here.
"Is it really you, Bree?" My father patted my shoulder to make sure I'm real.
"Yes, dad. It's me, your baby girl Brianna at your doorstep, and if you may, my mother is also waiting for me behind you." I grinned and waved at my mom behind dad.
"Aww, Bree. Gimme a hug first. Your mom can wait." Dad said and gave me a bear hug.
I hugged him back but was immediately stopped by mom.
She pulled my dad's ear and my dad yelped like a child and he backed away from me.
My mom stopped and smiled at me as I returned her the smile.
She hugged me back and signed Glad you're back, honey.
Yes, my mom is mute but we still communicate well enough.
"Me too, ma. Me too."

Nothing changed since I left for college. My room is still the same. Except that it was much more emptier than when I used to live here.
I guess it would go back to its normal state when I move everything back.
"Honey, come down for dinner!" My dad shouted from downstairs.
"Coming!" I shouted back.
My mom cooked a very proper meal, mashed potatoes for the appetizer, lasagna for the main dish and chocolate mousse for dessert.
Usually, it would be fruits, main course, and dessert.
If she took the effort, it would actually be really fancy and proper. Just like now.
"This is delicious asf, mom. You should cook more of this," I moan.
She gives me a soundless chuckle.
"Where's the dessert?" I wipe my mouth and asks mom.
"Desserts are for little kids." Dad snorts.
"Really?" I raise an eyebrow.
And when mom takes out three bowls of chocolate mousse, I took two.
"Hey! That's mine!" Dad pouts.
"What? You said that desserts are for children!" I too one big mouth of it and sigh. "So I'm stopping your embarrassment by finishing yours for you."
"I take it back!" Dad cries. "It is for big adults! Especially for men! Like me! Gimme now!"
"Hmmm. Nope." I stick out my tongue childishly.
"Brianna!!!" Dad wails.
Mom just laughs at us.
How could it be that I'm the only most mature one here? My mom signs.
Outrageous! I'm the most mature one! I sign back to mom and fake gasp.
Dad takes advantage of this opportunity and snatches his mousse from me while I'm distracted.
"Hah!" My dad laughs and takes a big gulp of the mousse.
"Hey!" I shout.
Yup, this is my family.
