Joe Chayban's Page 2

When my mom and I got home, we emptied the groceries from the car and went upstairs. On the way upstairs we met up with my and and my cousin. My aunt is a little short and skinny. My cousin is tall and well built. He was 15 years old at the time. My cousin helped us with the groceries. After that, I asked my mom if I can go down and play basketball with my cousin and his friends. Although they were older than me, I always enjoyed hanging out with them because I felt like I was older than I actually am. My mom said yeah as long as I come back in an hour because I have take a shower, eat dinner, and go to sleep. So my cousin and I met up with his friends. His were were way taller than me. We started playing and they didn't play as rough with me as they did with each other. An hour passed and I had to go back in, but my cousin stayed because he was older than me and had a different bed time.

When I got back home, my mom was making dinner. It smelled good in the kitchen and my mom's food is really good. I think maybe because she learned it from her mother, my grandmother. She was making a traditional salad that they make in Lebanon called Tabbouleh. It is a combination of crushed up parsley, crushed up tomatoes and onions, lemon juice, and crushed wheat. It's a really good salad and I always enjoyed and still enjoy it now. She was also meat and potatoes. While she was cooking, I took a shower and after I finished, I put on my pajama and went back to the kitchen to see if my mom needed any help, but she said no and told me that I can go and watch TV. I went and turned on the TV. I remember that my favorite was teletubbies and that my favorite character was Tinky Winky.

While I was watching TV, my dad came home from work. He is a contractor. My dad is a tall, strong, and well built guy. He cleaned himself up and came to the kitchen to eat. My mom had finished making dinner. I ate with him and my mom. After dinner I spent some time with my dad because I hadn't seen him all day. We watched TV and played some card games, than it was time for me to go to sleep. I went and told my mom and dad good night and brushed my teeth and went to bed. I was really tired because it was a long day. I fell asleep as soon as I got in bed. What I also didn't know was that the next day was the day that I almost get killed.
