*Hey everyone! As you can see, I added another chapter. I hope this one is long enough for
you guys, so sorry if it isn't! I'm just so busy with school and sometimes I have barely
any time to surf on the net, so please understand. Enjoy! P.S. I know this has nothing to
do with Wilson and Mary, but Chapter 4 will be exciting! Please review!*


Chapter 3: Triple the Problems


Later that night during dinner, Ruthie had a problem of her own.
"Mom?" Ruthie asked.
"Yes?" replied Annie, finishing her second serving of mashed potatoes.
"Well, there's this guy at school, his name is Gilbert, and he's been teasing me
about me being a Christian and all. What should I do?" Everyone stared at her in surprise.
"Well, what I think you should do is just ignore this Gilbert, and tell him, 'It
doesn't matter what you say, because it won't change the way I feel about myself!"
"Okay, good advice mom!" Ruthie said. And with that, she went on her heels and
went to her bedroom. At dinner table, everyone was just quiet. On the other hand, Mary was
thinking, 'I can't stand to listen more about problems. I'm outta here!'
"May I please be excused?" Mary asked. "I'm full, and I have other things to do."
"Why of course you are honey. Is everything okay? You seem down in the dumps." An-
nie asked.
"Yeah, everyting's okay," Mary persisted. With that, she pushed in her chair and
walked up the stairs. When Mary was no longer in sight, Matt mentioned, "Boy! Every-
one seems to be acting weird today. Is everything alright Luc?" Matt asked, noticing Lucy's sad face.
"Yeah, everything's fine. Just tired, that's all."
"Are you sure?" asked Eric.
"Yes!" Lucy protested. Everyone was quiet for the rest of the dinner.
