　 That day, I stood at my        place by the door, waiting for his return from work.

　 After standing there for a while, I began to      where Daddy was. I ran into the kitchen and asked Mummy     ,“When is Daddy coming? ”

　 “ Soon, honey, ”Mummy replied distractedly (心不在焉的) because she was following a difficult recipe(cookbook) for dinner.

　　I ran back to the door for I knew that Daddy was coming and that I wasn’t standing there for nothing, I began to read the words from my favorite books.

　　Tired of that, I went back to the kitchen to ask Mummy again but       I could open my mouth, she handed me a My little Pony coloring book. She said: “I’m busy, Daniel. Go and       a pretty picture and I’ll hang it on the fridge. ”

　　I went back to the door, put my book and crayons (蜡笔) down, then went to get my mini chair to sit in. After a while, the         became a pink-and-purple artistic wonder.

　　Soon I        with relief (放心) as I heard the sound of the garage door       and Daddy’s car driving in. I heard him turn off the engine and open and close his car door. The next thing I knew was that the door opened and there stood Daddy. I stood up and        my arms . I hugged him tightly and whispered, “I love you”.

　　As I sit at the computer finishing this story, I know Daddy will be home soon. I still       when he’s late. I still go to greet him when he arrives. And I still tell him I love him.
