As I look back on it now, I realize it was kind of
silly of me to be so worried when Daddy was really just late. I waited every
night for Daddy whom I followed around everywhere.
That day, I
stood at my place by the door,
waiting for his return from work.
After
standing there for a while, I began to where
Daddy was. I ran into the kitchen and asked Mummy ,“When
is Daddy coming? ”
“ Soon,
honey, ”Mummy replied distractedly (心不在焉的) because
she was following a difficult recipe(cookbook) for dinner.
I ran back
to the door for I knew that Daddy was coming and that I wasn’t standing there
for nothing, I began to read the words from my favorite books.
Tired of
that, I went back to the kitchen to ask Mummy again but I
could open my mouth, she handed me a My little Pony coloring book. She said:
“I’m busy, Daniel. Go and a pretty
picture and I’ll hang it on the fridge. ”
I went back
to the door, put my book and crayons (蜡笔) down, then
went to get my mini chair to sit in. After a while, the became
a pink-and-purple artistic wonder.
Soon I with
relief (放心) as I heard the sound of the garage door and
Daddy’s car driving in. I heard him turn off the engine and open and close his
car door. The next thing I knew was that the door opened and there stood Daddy.
I stood up and my arms . I
hugged him tightly and whispered, “I love you”.
As I sit at
the computer finishing this story, I know Daddy will be home soon. I still when
he’s late. I still go to greet him when he arrives. And I still tell him I love
him.
