After Kyra argued with her mother and BJ she began to feel bad about it. She was mad at BJ for being stupid and making all the rules that she did and the last 10 minutes but she knew that she had over-reacted. Kyra decided to be a mature adult and go downstairs and apologize. She went downstairs
"Mom, BJ can I talk to you for a minute"
"Sure sweetie. What is it?"
"I want to apologize"
"I'm sorry. I think I just hallucinated. Did you just say you want to apologize?"
"Yes mom. I want to apologize. BJ I'm sorry I called you clueless."
"Then why did you say it?"
"Do you want to know the truth?"
"Tell the truth... that's one of the rules"
"That's why I said it! BJ I can accept rules. But the rules that you've made are overboard... WAY overboard"
"What do you mean?"
"No drinks at dinner? Cut the bananas likewise? Wearing a sweater when I'm not cold? Those rules don't make sense"
"But I read an article-"
"You can't raise a child based on articles. You certainly can't raise a teenager based on articles"
"I guess... maybe but I don't know what to do. I don't know how to parent a teenager"
"Tell you what... lets start by being friends"
"Deal"
BJ and Kyra shared a hug. Reba looked at her watch
"Well come on then... lets git going. The exhibit is starting in an hour and we need to grab some dinner. Kyra I'm so proud of you"
"Really mom... for what"
"For being the mature one"
"I love you mom"
"I love you too baby girl"
"Mom... can we take BJ along. I don't think she should be by herself today and plus I'd really enjoy her company"
Reba beamed with pride
"Of course we can Kyra. That would be a great idea"
