Penny & Snow

By Corin

In the dining room chat chat chat

The first snow falling.

I’m talking with Penny.  She’s been

Here two months.  Whiz

I duck as a snowball whizzes across the room

Landing on my mom’s French horn case—splat.

I notice my mom standing in the doorway

Throwing another one—splat—it scrapes

My hair.  She throws one at Penny.  It hits

Her on the shirt as she stands in shock.

We throw some snow back at her.

Dad comes in the room.

Oops.  We are all in trouble.

And that’s how we introduced Penny to snow.
