Metaphor Moments

My family
My family lives in a toy chest
My dad is the bouncy ball that bounces off the walls and sometimes rolls away.
My mum is the wind up car that keeps running out and needs rewinding.
My brother is the toy gun that tries to shoot but has no darts.
I am the tool box with the darts for the gun and the key for the car.

My family
Mum is the cushion fluffy and light, always ready for a hug.
Dad is the TV working nonstop all day round.
Tiggs the cat is the blanket, soft and warm, always ready to snuggle in-between your legs.
Nathan is the light bulb always filling the room with new ideas.
Tom the cat is the ornament, shy and breakable, but always an attention seeker.
And I am the couch holding everyone up.

Emma

My family scavenges in the garage
Ruby is the lawn mower, disturbing the peace with her energetic behaviour, but when she runs out of petrol things don’t go as planned.
Dad is the light, contributing positive input, and switches off when not required.
Mum is the car, cautiously driving the family to achieve great things.
My sister is the spare tyre, inputting quirky and weird ideas, only needed as plan B.
And I am the set of tools ready and alert when needed.

My granddad is the pohutukawa tree that takes care of us.
My grandma is the red brushes that keep Granddad company
And I am the fence that holds us all together.

My family lives in a tree

And I am the soil, helping everyone stand tall
