My Life in Snippets and Phrases: You Can't Turn Back the Clocks
Chapter Eight

Diana sat waiting in the car. It was her turn for the car pool and Maia, Kerry, and Becca were running late. She wondered if it was because the girls thought Marco was the one picking them up today - which wasn't true, his turn was next week.
According to Marco, whenever it was his turn to pick up the girls from school, they were usually late. According to Maia, this was because of Becca's small crush on Marco.
When the trio finally appeared, Diana gave Maia a look, questioning, "What took you so long?" To which Maia answered, as the three girls squeezed into the backseats, "Hi, Mom. Sorry, but Kerry forgot something in Miss Eva's room."
Kerry rolling her eyes to this indicated that this was not a true.
"Hello, Kerry and Becca. How was school, girls?"
"Hi, Diana," Kerry grinned while Becca greeted, "Hello, Mrs. Pacella."
"Bex," Maia leant over Kerry to whisper to Becca as Kerry answered Diana's question, "School was okay. Pretty boring, actually. We didn't do anything special."
Diana nodded as she checked that all the girls were wearing seatbelts - they were.
"Mom, can I go over Becca's after homework?"
"We'll see," Diana pulled out into traffic.
"Can we put some music on, Diana? I want Frank Sinatra." Kerry asked, after Diana was on the road.
"No, I want The Beatles." Becca interjected.
"You picked last time," Kerry countered, with Maia backing her up.
"Fine," the girl sighed.
"Old Blue Eyes is simply great; I don't see why you like The Beatles better." Kerry said sagely as Diana put on Sinatra smiling, listening to their banter.
Becca sullenly muttered something about brown eyes that caused Kerry and Maia to crack up laughing as Old Blue Eyes began singing.

This story is beta'd by Mary, who loves The Beatles just as much as I do.

Author's Notes: Since I'm not too sure of the whole lyrics policy on I left out the Sinatra lyric I was going to put after the last sentence.
