Write about a time when your parents really surprised you. Did this event or situation seem out of character for your parents? Was this surprise a good one or a bad one? What was your reaction?
One day, about six years ago I saw an ad in the paper for blue-healer puppies. My family and I already had one dog, named Patch. He was getting old and he never wanted to play anymore. I kept asking and asking my parents if we could get one of those puppies, and I promised I would take care of her. My parents said that it was a big responsibility to look after a dog. They also said that we already had one dog, and it would be too much work to have two. For about two weeks I would ask my parents non-stop, day and night if I could please just get one of those puppies.
On February 11th I went to my friends house for her birthday. We had lots of fun, until it was time for me to go home. My dad came and picked me up, he told me there was a surprise at the house for me. All the way home, I kept asking what the surprise was, but he wouldn't tell me. I asked who it was from, and if it had came in the mail. My dad said that it came in the mail and it was from my aunty in Scotland. By this point I was getting really excited.
When we got home, I ran into the house as fast as possible to see what the surprise was. When I walked in the front door I saw my little brother, Alexander sitting with a little puppy on his knee. That's when I realized that my dad had went and gotten me one of those puppies that I wanted. I was ecstatic! Later on, my older brother had told me that when he had came in off the bus, he saw the puppy there. He said it was sitting very still and he thought it was a statue. My little brother named the puppy Spot, because he was very young and that was one of the only words he could say. The name Spot fit her very well because she was a blue-healer and she had spots all over her.
That night I went out into the porch to see Spot, I played with her for about half an hour. After that I sat down on the step and she sat on my knee and fell asleep. I sat on that step for approximately an hour while she was sleeping. My mom woke her up when she came to tell me it was time to get ready for bed.
This was one of the best surprises ever! I never thought that my parents would actually let me have one of those puppies. I was so happy that I couldn't even sleep that night!
