by Jane Lang after the watercolour by Sharmagne Leland-St.John Home! I could hardly wait to get back to our kitchen: my mom, my brother, Rob and my geeky sister, Lorraine we were going to set it up and play for an hour. Home! I wanted it for months since I first saw it advertised on Nickelodeon and now I have it, my heart beats like a cannon I'm ready to play. Home! There's the silo, a silver bullet just like ours, the defender protector of its wild kingdom, the red barn, the door kind'a open like ours at our place. Home! See those rows of wheat? My dad says they have to be linear whatever that means straight rows at attention. I know about farm life, my dad says I have "a-leg-up." Home! I know I'll win; Rob'll let me and geeky Lorraine doesn't want to play anyway she cries and says I cheat at boardgames my dad says I can ace it, I have "a-leg-up."
