Last summer our family holiday two days before it started.
The hotel in Da Lat our booking, and everything else was full.
My father was upset for an hour, then he made a strange : five days at home, with rules.
Rule one: no work and no school books.
Rule two: every person chooses one day and decides what the family does.
My mother chose a cooking day, and we made four dishes from her .
My brother chose a bike day, and we rode forty minutes to a lake we had never seen.
I chose a film day, and my father chose a day with no plan at all.
We one million dong in five days, which is not even one night in that hotel.
Now my sister asks for a holiday at home every year, and my father that it was always his idea.
