Ceramic Surprise

About four months ago, I had a talk with my dad. We were discussing the new building project he had planned, and somehow it turned into a conversation about my room. My dad said he wouldn’t be putting tiles on the floor, and I thought he was trying to trick me. I argued that having floor tiles would be cool and different. "Why choose the same old styles? Tiles would be fun!" I said.

He smiled, but I could tell he was being a bit sneaky. "Trust me, there won’t be any tiles when you come home from school" he said. I wanted to believe him, but I had a feeling he might be lying.

After our talk, I went about my day, wondering what he would really choose for my room. When the day finally came, my dad gave me the key to my room. I felt excited as I unlocked the door.

When I walked in, I was shocked. The whole floor was covered in beautiful tiles! I couldn’t believe it. My dad actually did it! I had a feeling he was tricking me, but I was so happy. The tiles were exactly what I wanted.

I laughed and danced around my room in excitement. My dad might have played a little trick on me, but he knew I would love it. I realized that sometimes a small surprise can make you really happy.
