It's Not the End of the World
“Why should I? All it does is make you miserable. Just look at Mrs. Singer. Last year she was Miss Pace and everybody loved her. I said I'd absolutely die if I didn't get her for sixth grade. But I did-and what happened? She got married over the summer and now she's a witch!Then there are my parents. They're always fighting. My father was late for dinner tonight and when he got home we were already at the table. Daddy said hello to me and Jeff. Then he turned to Mom. "Couldn't you have waited?" ...he asked her. "You knew I was coming home for dinner.""Why didn't you call to say you'd be late?" Mom asked."It's only twenty after six. I got hung up in traffic.""How was I supposed to know that?" Mom asked."Never mind!" My father sat down and helped himself to a slice of meat loaf and some Spanish rice. He took a few mouthfuls before he said, "This rice is cold.""It was hot at six o'clock," Mom told him.Me and Jeff kept on eating without saying a word. You could feel what was going on between my parents.MoreLess
