A Catastrophe in the Kitchen

For Grammar this week I had to write a about a catastrophe in the kitchen.  Here is my story.

A Catastrophe in the Kitchen

 

          One day our family was driving home from our family vacation in Washington.  After a very long drive we finally got home.  Dad walked in the house first, and a puddle of water came out the door. The kitchen had FLOODED!  Mom screamed and everyone panicked.  We figured out that someone had bumped the dishwasher on our way out.  We were doomed!

          The next day we ripped out the soggy hardwood, then we figured out that the bottom cabinets were moldy and we would have to get new ones. We called the cabinet store where we got our old cabinets so they would match the top cabinets.  The cabinet people said the cabinets that we had had been discontinued, so we would have to get new top cabinets too.  That was a long day. 

          The next day Dad had some leftover tile that he had at his equipment yard sent to our house.  Then we got a call saying that the truck carrying the tile went over a big bump and cracked all but two tile. Oh No!  Dad said that two tiles would at least save some money, so they still brought the two tiles.  Then some guy dropped them as he was bringing them to the house.  What else could go wrong?

          The next day they finally got the tile in, and they were bringing the new granite counter tops.  I was hoping nothing would go wrong.  I jinxed myself!  While they were bringing the new granite they dropped it as they were setting it down.  It shattered into millions of pieces.  Then they wouldn't give us a refund, and it wasn't even our fault.  It was the counter top people's fault.

          The next day we finally got the new cabinets installed and new granite counter tops in.  We were finally done- at least we thought so. We soon found out that actually we weren't done. The flood ruined all the appliances.  So we called the appliance store, but they didn't pick up, it turned out it was Labor Day, and they were closed.  Go figure.

          The next day we called the store again.  They said that they couldn't bring the appliances till next week!  So we waited, and waited, and waited.  It was terrible; we had to store our food in the church fridge, but we got to eat out a lot.

          Finally, it was the next week, and the appliances were  here.  We were done putting our kitchen back together.  Or were we?
