THE PHELPS FAMILY RULES
All of us have to help around the house. Yes, that means you too, Frannie!
Duke, you don't have to help because you're a dog.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Frannie has to do the washing up
and Hans has to empty the bins. Hans, you mustn't forget the bin in your room!
Mum must cook lunch and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Dad must cook
dinner on weekdays. He can buy pizzas on really busy days.
Hans has to feed Duke every morning and give him water. Frannie has to feed
him every night. She should do it before 6pm or he gets upset. Hans, could
you feed Duke for Frannie on the days she gets back late from football
matches, please?
These are the new rules, I couldn't think of any others. You can talk to me or
Mum about them. You shouldn't shout or cry when you talk to us about them.
Be mature - we can solve any problems together!​

Last Friday me and my mom went shopping. I wanted to buy a winter coat for myself. As I walked into the store I noticed my mom talking with some guy. He didn't look like he was shop assistant. It was really strange, because I've never seen him before.
I came closer and then that guy looked at me. 
"Oh my God, you're grown up already!" Said that man with a smile on his face.
"That's your uncle Sasha." said mom.
"Oh, you don't remember me?" The guy looked into me eyes and smiled. 
"I don't" I answered. 
"It's ok. You were really small when we've last met." He said. "So I need to go." 
"Goodbye" we said.
