Valerie's Excitement
At the Brown residence that afternoon, Valerie came through the front door and started to unpack her backpack.
Doctor William and Doctor Lyla Brown met their daughter in the kitchen.
"Val, it's time to do your homework." William said.
"Yes, Dad." Valerie said.
Valerie sat down at the kitchen table and began to do her homework.
While she did her homework, Valerie decided to munch on a banana.
Lyla decided to fix dinner while William helped Valerie with her homework.
At dinner that night, Valerie's mom and dad looked over at her.
"Why are you so excited?" Lyla asked Valerie.
"I'm playing Snow White in our school's production of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs!" Valerie exclaimed.
William and Lyla looked at each other.
"What wonderful news!" William exclaimed.
"You will be a star someday!" Lyla agreed.
"Do you want to know who's playing the prince?" Valerie asked her mother and father.
"Who?" William and Lyla asked Valarie.
"Alexander Cabot." Valerie answered her parents.
"Alexander Cabot? Oh yes! The star gymnast in your school! I remember him now!" William exclaimed.
"That's right, Dad," Valerie answered. "remember, it was you who removed Alexander's tonsils and adenoids last year."
"That's right," William said. "I had completely forgotten about that!"
"And, Mom," Valerie reminded. "the Cabot family trusts only you with Alexandra and Alexander's dental work."
"You're right!" Lyla said to Valerie.
That evening when she went to bed, Valerie was unable to fall asleep, she wasn not tired at all.
