So, it was one of the worst and strangiest days I have ever had.

I just woke up in the morning, and figured out that I had overslept. As I didn't want to listen to my teacher who would certainly punish me, I decided not to go to school. Well, I went to the kitchen and saw that there were a mess. I couldn't get who did it. Anyways, I had to clean the kitchen. I had been cleaning it being very angry with a person who dared to do it. But the truth is, unfortunately, I didn't know who it was. But I knew for sure that I would revenge him. Then I opened the fridge, because I was hungry and I really wanted to eat. Again, there was a trouble: nothing was in the fridge. I became as angry as I have never been before.

Some time went by, and my older brother came home. He was quite happy, but I couldn't get why. But when I knew the answer, I had to make a choice if I became more angry or more surprised. He said he had done this mess in the kitchen and yet, he had stolen all the food from the fridge. Would you ask "why?". He said he had just wanted to tease me.

So, it probably was one of the days I would never like to have one more time.
