"Do you have work today?"

"No, go back to sleep."

"But it's Monday." I rolled over and saw a fully dressed Erik

"Kay fine, I'll get up." I said very groggily. I instantly grabbed my back making Erik think that something was wrong.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, love, I'm fine. It's just my back. That happens when you gain a lot of weight really fast!" I laughed and slugged him in the shoulder.

"Come on, breakfast will be ready in about 30 minutes."

"Alright." I went to the bathroom and showered, brushed my hair and teeth and with the help of some of my modern conveniences, I blow dried and straightened my hair. I was just coming out if the room in my green pajama pants with cow heads on them when I saw a man standing out in front of the door.Good thing I moticed him because, had I not, I would have had a lot of explaining to do about my pants… I ran to my room and threw on a dress. When I got back out there, the man was still there waiting patiently. I said,

"Hello, Is there something I can help you with?"

"Ahh, you must be the lovely Mrs. Butler."

"Thank you sir. May I ask who you might be?"

"I am Richard's father. He is one of your students, no?"

"Yes, he is. He is one of the best readers. He has wonderful math skills also."

"Why thank you maam. I'm here about his style of dress, and hair." He didn't sound verry happy. I hope I didin't make him mad.

"Yes sir, I had them wear normal cloths and not wear that silly gel. I find it a lot easier to concentrate with out having to sit up so straight and wear embarrassing, uncomfortable, uniforms."

"Yes, well Richard is different from the rest of the boys. He learns better with strict, hard learning. I sugest that you make them wear the uniforms and the gel if you want Richard to stay in your class. I will give you a week to think about it. Thank you andd good bye madam."

"Thank you sir. I will indeed think about it. But in the end, I must do the thing that is best for the whole class. I will think about it though." He left in a huff. What sad thing, a parent who doesn't even want his child to be happy. Richard has been doing better in school every day. Ridiculous, I say.

Short sorry I have to go to school. Bye!
