Personal Narrative: A Day In The Dining Room

The Surprise!

It all started one day in the dining room…. Henry was supposed to be sitting down getting ready for dinner but tonight he was really outdoing his normally crazy entrance. Henry was shouting, singing, and dancing all at the same time. Peter was sitting in his chair (quietly) just shaking his head, (kind of disturbed).
