Can someone help me write a story with this prompt: (short story!) Use the all of the following words to write a story: analyze, red, persuade, paraphrase, exaggerate, negotiate. Underline and bold the words. You may use endings like ing, ed, ly.

As I was walking home from school one day, I saw a lady bug. It was one of those red one's. The more typical color you would see here. I continued walking leaving the lady bug on the sidewalk. When I arrived home I opened the door to the smell of a very well cooked dinner. I walked into the kitchen throwing my backpack into the living room. "How was your day?" I heard my mom say over the stove's crackling noise's. "it was good I guess.." I said with a mix of sadness in my voice. "AW, does baby need a tissue?" My big brother yelled exaggeratingly from the kitchen table. I persuaded myself to ignore him, I walked into the living room to get out my homework. I analyzed it and let out a big *sigh*. I had to paraphrase someone else's words into a paragraph.

(that's not short.. is it?) (Also I didn't use negotiate)
