I live with my mum, dad, and my two little sisters. They are twins and can be a bit annoying sometimes, but they are small and cute so they get away with it.

I’m the big sister. That means I get my own room- finally. I had to share with the twins for ages. My house is kinda small, and I’ve lived in it my entire life. We live next door to an empty lot, and nobody ever goes there except me and my friends when they visit.

There are a few trees and the grass is really long. Dad says that it’s probably filled with snakes, so I always whack the ground with a stick when I walk through the grass. Emily told me that that scares them away.
She should know because she hates snakes, and her big-brother told her so it must be true.

Me and my friends built a cubby house there, and it’s our secret place. Not even the twins know about it, because if they did, they’d want to play there with us all the time and that would be annoying. The empty lot is the most interesting thing at my house
