My family is a house

My mother is the brick


That are as hard as a rock:
My stepdad Mike is the paint

On the walls that will peel off
My sister is the doors that

Will open and close and sometimes





Lock you out
My brother is the crying window

That breaks easy!
I am the strong floors that Will


Hold them up.
