Jake And The Missing Keys       Jake was always hiding keys from his Mom and Dad. For example, last week Jake thought it would be funny to bury Dad’s car keys underneath a pile of junk. Just as Jake had planned, when they were getting ready to leave for his little sister’s dance class they could not find the keys so they ended up being fifteen minutes late.  Today Jake had a soccer game, so he thought it would be hilarious to hide Mom’s keys under her red and yellow stripped bed. When his Mom started looking stressed, Jake couldn’t help laughing inside. Jake thought it was so funny to watch his Mom run around like an animal. When his Mom could not find her keys she said "I guess we just can’t go to your soccer game."  Jake didn’t feel worried but he still darted upstairs to get the keys but they were not where he had put them. When he could not find them his mind started clicking like a computer. How, who, when, where, what, why. With no answers to his questions Jake walked slowly downstairs as if he had just been defeated in a tournament. He sat on the couch. This all happened because Mom had secretly watched Jake hide the keys in the morning and thought I’d better teach him a lesson. She had taken the keys and hidden them from Jake. Jake did not get to go to his soccer game and from that day on Jake has never hidden a key in his life.
