Mom:“Did you sleep well?” Mom says as she spreads the strawberry honey butter on each half of the toasted bagel.

Lucy: "Yeah, how ‘bout you?"

Mom: "Um-hm!" She hums with a mouth full of a bite from the toasted bagel.

Mom: "Here is your bagel with your favorite honey butter flavor! Oh and I took a bite. Sorry I couldn’t resist it."

Lucy: "It's fine, thanks Mom!!"

Mom: "You should probably get going it’s 7:10 and you don’t want to miss the bus!!" Mom says as she hands Lucy her lunch box
and water bottle.

Lucy: "K thanks Mom!" Lucy says as she puts her last handful of raspberries in her mouth.

walking  back to her house. Sooner or later she walks into the house and into the kitchen where she finds her mom and Oliver.
(Oliver is Lucy’s little brother who is in 5th grade) ~

Lucy: “Hey Mom, the bus must have come a little earlier than it should have because I was on time to the stop and it never
showed up.” Lucy explains  as she enters the kitchen.

Mom: "Oh that’s ok it happens."
Oliver: "Ha-ha! I'm not surprised." Oliver scoffs. Lucy ignores him.

Lucy: "Yeah… so can you take me to school right now?"

Mom: "Yeah I’ll take you as soon as Oliver finishes his breakfast."

Mom: "Oliver, quickly finish up, because we need to leave a little early so we can get the two of you to school on time," says
Mom to Oliver as he is eating his bagel.

Oliver: "Yessss!! I just remembered that today we have a short day!" He says as he gets off of the bar stool and grabs his
lunch box, stuffs it into his backpack and zooms past Mom and Lucy.

Mom: "He is only willing to go to school when it is an early out," Mom said quietly to Lucy as she and Lucy follow him into the
garage where they all get into the car.

~ Mom comes to a stop in front of the school and Lucy un-buckles her seat belt and gathers her things together.

Mom: "Just check with your bus driver to see if the time he comes to pick you up changed," Mom says as Lucy puts her
backpack on and grabs hold of her water bottle. ~

Lucy: "Ok thanks for the ride Mom!! See ya Oliver! Bye Mom!"

Oliver & Mom: "Bye Lucy, love you!!"

~ Lucy opens the school door and walks in. She finds her friends and starts chatting with them until the bell rings and
everyone departs into their own classrooms. ~
