I walked in the door putting my jacket away and wiping my boots off on the carpet, then taking them off.I walked into the kitchen but no one was there..Wierd..I thought I walked upstairs into my sisters room and she was playing with her teddy bear she calls Bruce."Um hey Nora"...I said, walking closer to her then stopping."Hi Jennifer"!Nora said to me.I asked "where's mom and dad"?
