You are just outside the apartment door when you over hear your mother scream, “Everett where is my daughter?” “I told you she just ran out the door. Being a little girl she will be back in a moment. She won’t run to far.” “She’s been gone almost fifteen minutes and you didn’t tell me the minute she bolted out the door.“ Everett sighs, “You give that girl to much freedom. I can make some suggestions . . .” Rebecca cuts him off, “Let me give you some suggestions Buster! First, suggest you get out of my way so I can call the police!” Secondly, I suggest you call a doctor for yourself. You will need one shortly.”

You like the way this argument is playing in your favor. “Mommy here I am!” You call cheerfully. “Oh Molly! Honey! You scared Mommy!” She drops to her knees to give you a hug. Everett says soothingly, “There everything is alright. See Rebecca you just over reacted a bit.” You see a dark look come across your mother’s face, “Everett I think that you were just getting your things and leaving.”

For running away you are grounded for a week from listening to your favorite radio program Danger Woman but you have never been happier about being punished.

The End
