Chapter Seventeen

Lizzie walked into the kitchen and instantly got hit in the face with glob of yogurt. She gasped and Jo handed her a paper towel. Lizzie took it, and wiped her face off. She through out the paper towel, turned around, and glared at Natalie.

"What did I say about throwing yogurt?" she asked.

"Sorry, Mommy," Natalie whimpered, giving Lizzie puppy-eyes.

Lizzie hesitated. "Oh man, you're just to cute to yell at," she said, as she walked over and kissed her daughter on the cheek.

"Sit down, Mommy, eat beckfast," Natalie said and pointed to the chair beside her.

Lizzie sat down and Jo walked over and placed a plate of pancakes in front of Lizzie. Lizzie cut one up into small pieces and put the plate in front of Natalie, who started picking at the pancake with her fork. Suddenly she stopped and looked at her mother.

"Juice," she said.

"Apple or orange?" Lizzie asked.

"O-wenge!"

Lizzie stood up and walked over to the fridge. She looked for the orange juice but couldn't find any. She looked up and said, "Natalie, honey, we only have apple."

Natalie made a face. "Yucky," she said, sticking out her tongue.

"Then I guess you'll have to have milk," Lizzie told her.

"No! O-wenge juice!"

"Sweetie, right now you're gonna have to have milk. Tomorrow I'll get you orange juice, alright?" Lizzie said.

"NO!" Natalie screamed.

Lizzie looked through the fridge, then turned around, holding a carton of chocolate milk. "How about chocolate milk?" she asked.

Natalie's eyes widened. "Oooh!" She clapped her hands.

Lizzie smiled, then took out a sippy cup and poured some chocolate milk into it. Then she put the cap on and handed it to her daughter.

Natalie sucked the chocolate milk down and Lizzie turned to her mother. "Mom, Miranda and I wanted to go see a movie later, so could you-"

"Babysit?" Jo finished.

"Please."

"Of course."

"Alright, I'll call Miranda and tell her I've got that covered," Lizzie said as she picked up to phone, and began dialing her best friend's number.

A/N: sorry that was short! I've got a huge pile of homework that I have to go do, I'll update later. bye!
