Life’s Adventures

“Mom, where is my blue sweater?” Bess asked.

“Oh honey it is already packed up and in the truck!” her mom said sweetly.

“God, you are so . . . GRRRR! ” Bess growled. “This is why I hate this new house. I mean I can’t have friends over because we are soooooo busy cleaning, and anything I want, I can’t have because we have to save our money for the stupid new house!”

“Honey I am so sorry that you don’t enjoy the moving process but as soon as we move in it will be over and you will enjoy being in a new house.” Ms. Leve whispered in her ” It is going to be ok baby” voice. As Bess stomped off to her room and slammed the door, her mother let out a sigh of being tired. ” I can’t wait until she realizes how much I do for her.”

Two hours went by, and Bess finally came out of her room and stormed into the kitchen. “I just wanted to let you know that I am not sorry for what I did earlier!”

“That’s fine. You don’t have to be sorry just, I want you to remember that when I am 95 years old and YOU are taking care of me and YOUR  kids!”

“Yeah! Whateve!” she screamed as she ran out of the house.

Two days later.

” Marisa, (Ms. Leve) where are the car keys?” screamed Bess’s Aunt Julie.

“Um, I think there in the silverware door! ” exclaimed Ms. Leve 

“Well um, I’m going to start driving over there to the new house so I can start unpacking the boxes.”

“Ok.” So she did.

“MOM!” screamed Bess ” Where in the world are my black shoes with the permanent marker drawings all over it?”

“Oh, the Converse?”

“DUH!”

“Right here. I did you a favor and washed them for you.” she said as she quickly pulled them out a brown, torn up box.

“OH MY GOD!! ” Bess shrieked, as she pulled the sneakers out of her mothers hands. ” I can’t believe you washed my favorite pair of fashionable sneakers”

“I’m sorry! I did not know,” she said in a ” I won’t do it again voice!

“I’ll be in my room RE- scribbling on my sneakers !” Bess screamed “UGH!”

1 hour later.

“Bess, come on we got to go, your Aunt cannot exactly move in OUR house without US!”

“Why not just g-g-g-o-o-o by yourself!”

“Bess, honey, whats wrong. Why are you crying?”

“B-b-b-e-ecause  I don’t want to move away from all my friends!”

“Honey, come here and sit with me, while I call your Aunt.”

As her mother left the room, Bess sneered, “Works every time !” WAIT! Ask yourself this question. Who is running this two person family? PLEASE respond in your comment.

“Ok, Baby lets sit down and you can tell about it!”

“NO!” Bess screamed as she ran out the door and into the street.

One week later.

“Mom! I do want to say I’m sorry for what I said a couple weeks ago!”  Bess admitted to her mother.  “I admit that I was wrong for acting that way. This new house thing wasn’t so bad after all.”
