Narrative Practice

“Oh no!” Mum, Mark and Cindy laughed sarcastically. Dad was painting the seating area while everyone was sitting on the sofa. “Has he always been this terrible at painting?” asked Cindy. Mark and Cindy laughed at the sight in front of them. Poor Dad was making a fool of himself. “Dad has always been that clumsy” said Mark. “I guess that is why he is not doing a good job” Mum replied as the sight of her husband was unbearable.

A few drops of paint splattered onto Dad’s face. “Oh no!” he whispered to himself, “why did this happen?” As he thought about this question there was a slight smirk on his face. He glanced around the seating area while his family wasn’t looking. “Well at least no one saw what happened” Saying this he looked on the floor next to him. There Fluffy’ the cat, lay next to him with paint all over her.


He was embarrassed and shocked that his mistake got caught on camera. “I guess I’ll remember this forever” He said sadly. Looking back at what had happened. He remembered that the cat ran across bumped the ladder and that is how he got paint splattered onto his face. “You little trouble maker” he laughed as he cleaned up the mess. At least this problem has been solved.
