My Special Place: Teagan

When I was a kid and still now my special place (or the place I was forced to go) was my nana’s house in Panmure. My Mum and Dad work really early in the morning so I have to wake up and go to down to my nana house until school time, then wait after school for my parents to pick me up. I would get my nana newspaper, see my cousins if they’re there and sleep over every once and a while.

Every morning at about 7 o'clock I would be forced to get my nana a newspaper and a loaf of bread. I would have to dash up the 4 degree road to get my nana a newspaper and a hot loaf of bread. I would get to the bakery just after it opened so the bread just came out the oven and it was nice and hot. Now my nana didn't know the price of a loaf and bread and a newspaper, so I would lie and say that it was $7 dollars so that I could get me an up and go to drink before school.

After I got my nana a newspaper my cousin Tyler would usually come down. We would go upstairs and play xbox with my other cousins if they’re home. Our family is really competitive, we would always be screaming and shouting over this olympics game. We would always play the 100 metre sprints and see who would come first.  My older cousin would come down to my nana’s so she could do her shopping, I would tell my little brother to say if we could get takeaways. My older cousin would always get us some Mcdonalds or Wendy’s, if we were really lucky he would get us some Dunkin Donuts too.

At night sometimes me and my brothers would sleepover. My nana would have this cupboard of food. All my cousins never use to eat my nana’s food because they said it was expired or it was in this foreign language. I would just go upstairs and take some food so that I could eat that instead of eating my nana’s weird expired food. Every time that I stayed over their was either a league game or a rugby game. My uncle and I would stay up late to watch the game. My uncle would have had a few beers by that time so he would be screaming at the referee on the t.v, and so would I. When

I woke up they would make me breakfast but I wasn’t eating it.

My nana house is my special place, I now know where all the good hiding spots are when we play hide and go seek or I’m just about to get a hiding. It is special because of the food and my cousins. My nanas house will always be my special place.
