Bree got herself all dressed up in a pretty pink dress and was headed back downstairs.
"Mom,I'm going out!",shouted Bree.
She went to the door. Her words reached Stephanie in the kitchen.Bree was hoping that Stephanie was too busy cooking dinner to hear and understand what she was saying. Chris was waiting for dinner when Bree's words rang out in the house. Stephanie almost dropped her frying pan before running over to block the door.
"Hold on! Where do you think you're going?",asked Stephanie.
Stephanie had one eyebrow up. She was aware that whenever her kids have to go somewhere, she needs to hear where they're going first- before she lets them out of the door.
"Where are you going?",asked Stephanie in a curious yet playful voice.
It almost made Bree laugh because she knows how her mother gets,
"I'm out to see a friend.",said Bree.
"Addison, that girl you always tell me about?",guessed Stephanie.
"No,it's a male friend.",said Bree.
"Oh that explains it why you are in a pink dress.",said Stephanie with a wink.
Bree blushed in embarrassment.
"Mom!",yelled Bree.
"What?? Couldn't you tell I was joking?",asked Stephanie.
This made Bree feel more upset.
"Okay,okay you can go.",offered Stephanie softly.
She moved out of the way to let Bree go. She watched her as she opened the door and stepped outside.
