Chapter 9

Amy walked to the mailbox a week later and saw that the test results were there. She ran inside the house and gave the envelope to her mom.

"Let's wait for daddy to get home before we open this, all right, Amy?" Anne said.

"Sure, mommy. I can wait, I guess. When's daddy coming home?" Amy asked.

"Just a few hours more, dear. He said he'd be home at 6:00, all right, darling?" Anne replied. "Now go do your homework."

"Yes, mommy." Amy said. She left the room and went to the study where she did her homework in record time.

It was now 5:30 and Amy was getting anxious about the results of the test. She wanted so badly to find out!

"Just a little while longer, Amy. Be more patient." Anne said.

"Yes, mommy." Amy replied.

"Go was up for dinner, darling." Anne said.

Amy did as told and was done with 25 minutes to spare. James came home at 6:00 just as he promised. They ate dinner and then they opened up the envelope with the results inside. Amy had done it! She had passed the test and was now in 1st grade! She would start on Monday.

"We're so proud of you, honey!" James said, picking up his daughter and giving her a kiss. Anne did the same thing and then they went out for a celebration ice cream.

What did you think? Should I continue this as a series or something? Let me know!
