My family
By Alessa Gillespie.
My Dad's name is Harry. He's a writer. He gets scared pretty easy, and is a little clumsy, but he would do anything for me if I was in trouble. That's why he's my father.
My Mom's name is Cybil. I don't think she and my dad are actually married, but she's always with dad and helps him a lot, so she might as well be my mother. I like her better than my real mother, anyway. She's a policewoman. She's tough and honest.
My Sister's name is Claudia. We argue about a lot of things, but sisters often do that. She's pretty religious, and talks funny sometimes. But we play games together, and I like her, even if I don't always agree with her.
I have two uncles. One of my uncles is named James. I don't know him that much. He's pretty surly, but really quite nice. His wife died a long time ago, and he was really sad for a while. He's better now, but still doesn't really talk much. He's a clerk. He has a daughter named Laura. I don't like her.
My favourite uncle is Travis. Like James, he's pretty quiet. His parents died a long time ago. But he does a lot of favors for me. He's a truck driver, and moves around a lot.
My cousin's name is Lisa. She's a really sweet, nice person. Uncle Travis says she's just nice because she's a nurse and that's her job. Dad says she's nice because she's nice. I agree with Dad. I like her a lot.
That's my family.
