Comments keep me going! I am surprised at how many people have read my story so far! I just cant seem to stop writing. I started this story the beginning of September and that is why I have been able to post so many chapters so quickly. It has taken me a while to edit them and get them how I want. Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors...I think I have caught them all but it is easy to miss the little mistakes!
9-11 is truly a day that changed the way the world thinks and everyone that is old enough to remember the events of the day I am sure can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when they first heard of the attacks. Everyone reacted differently but everyone reacted. Thank you all for reading and please share your thoughts both good and bad!
I keep getting in trouble for not paying attention at school but it is not my fault. I just am too excited for me and Daddy's date with Dr Bones at three o'clock at the park. I have seen Daddy change since he started working with Dr Bones. Before he was always working and Mommy kept saying he was going to get himself killed so she didn't want me to spend that much time with him. When Daddy told Mommy that he had a partner and it was a girl she got mad at first and then changed her mind about being mad at him and then I got to see Daddy a whole lot more. I think Dr Bones said something to my Mommy but Mommy says it is grownup business.
The bell rang at three and I already had my coat and backpack on and was the first one out of the classroom. I ran all the way out to the sidewalk where I saw Daddy and Dr Bones waving from the car. She did come. I knew she would but I didn't think Daddy believed it.
All the times that Daddy got hurt Dr Bones called me and Mommy let me go have lunch with her. I don't know if Daddy even knew that we had our dates. When Daddy got blown up by Dr Bones refrigerator Mommy let me go to get pudding with Dr Bones while she talked to Daddy. When Daddy got shot by that crazy lady and Dr Bones thought Daddy was dead I saw her almost everyday. Mommy let me go spend time with her instead of going to the babysitters. She took me to museums and to the park and even to the zoo. Daddy never said anything about my dates with Dr Bones so I never said anything to him about it. I liked having a secret with a grownup. It was silly when Daddy acted all surprised that I went to Dr Bones for stuff but it is cuz he didn't know. It was kid business and so Daddy didn't know about it.
I climbed up into my booster seat and said to Dr Bones, "Can we go to where the Dinosaurs met the fish?" I asked knowing that Daddy would be clueless but Dr Bones would know exactly where that was.
I saw her look at Daddy and smile at his confused and silly face, "Sure Buddy but I don't think your Daddy knows where that is. We will have to teach him."
"I think it is about time Daddy learns something new. Well, it is old cuz dinosaurs are extinct but it is new cuz Daddy doesn't know it." I told Dr Bones.
She smiled at Daddy and told him to drive to a park different from the one me and him usually go. When we got close I told Daddy to park and we could walk the rest of the way. He kept looking from me to Dr Bones.
"Okay you two, what the heck does dinosaurs meeting fish have to do with anything and Parker how do you know about this park it is no where near your house or mine. When have you come here?"
"Silly Daddy it is halfway between Mommy's house and the Jeffersonian. I have been here lots." I said taking Dr Bones' hand and we walked down the trail with Daddy following us with the silly confused look again.
It was fun walking down the paths with Dr Bones, we kept turning and acting like we were in a maze to get Daddy all turned around. We spent like an hour walking to the pond with the dinosaur statues when it really could have taken less than five minutes. I took my shoes off and ran over to the sand pit and started digging for bones while Dr Bones sat on the bench. Daddy stood there for a long time before finally sitting down next to Dr Bones.C
