There's no place like Home

by Kate Black

This is a story about Kate and Roman, and their daughter Katie. You'll just have to read the story to find out anything else!

"Mom you never listen!", Katie yells as she stalks up the stairs of the Brady home. "Katherine Christina Brady don't you walk away from me young lady!!", Kate yells after her daughter, quickly following Katie up the wooden staircase. Katie slams her door shut and Kate immediately opens it again. "Look, I don't know who you think you are, but I am your mother and you will NOT treat me this way!", Kate shouts, looking her daughter dead in the eyes. "What does it matter? You don't listen to anything I say anyway! You never have!", Katie shouts back, throwing herself onto her bed. "Fine.Fine. If you want to act like a brat, be my guest. I'm not going to argue with you Katie. Your father will speak with you when he gets home.", Kate says, opening the door and walking out of the small bedroom. "She is such a brat." she says to herself, then walks downstairs and into the living room. She grabs a book off the coffee table, sits down on an overstuffed chair and props her feet up on a matching ottoman. Kate reads until she drifts off to sleep.
