Invitations

"Anytime, Valerie." Josie said.

Valerie took the four extra chocolate chip cookies from Josie.

Valerie bit into one of the four chocolate chip cookies that were offered to her.

"Oh, yum," Valerie exclaimed. "these cookies are super! Josie! Did your mom make these?"

Josie looked at the three chocolate chip cookies that were still on her napkin.

"My mother died when I was three-years-old," Josie told Valerie, sighing sadly. "that's two years that I have been without a mother."

Josie then started sobbing like crazy.

Melody came over to the sobbing Josie.

"There there, Josie," Melody said, hugging Josie. "how about you come to my house for supper, you will get to meet my mom!"

Josie dried her eyes, "What about your dad?" she asked.

"Their divorce will be final in the summer, so you will get to meet my mom." Melody said to Josie.

"I'll check with my dad and see if it's okay." Josie said to Melody.

On the playground just before her A.M. kindergarten class went home, Miss Kelly met up with Mr. Miller.

"Hello, Joseph." Miss Kelly said to Mr. Miller.

"Hello, Alisha." Mr. Miller said to Miss Kelly.

Suddenly, one of the children scraped her knee on the ground while sliding down the firefighter's pole on the jungle gym.

"Miss Kelly," the girl sobbed. "I got a boo boo! I need a band aid!"

"Okay, Lisa, I'm on my way." Miss Kelly said.

Sometime later on, Mr. Miller had a burning question on his mind.

"Alisha, would you like to go on moonlit boat ride with me this evening?" Mr. Miller asked Miss Kelly.

"Oh, Joseph," Miss Kelly exclaimed. "that is romantic! I'd like that!"

That afternoon just after eating her lunch, Josie had a burning question for her father.
