Please note: I do not think this is some kind of literary masterpiece or even good, I just needed something to blog.
"Mom! I'm home!" Sophia screamed as the door slammed closed.
"How many times have I asked you not to slam the door?" was her mother's exhausted reply.
"Oops! Sorry Mom!" Sophia answered, mouth already full of chocolate chip cookies (her favorite after school snack).
It had been a long day and Sophia was glad to be home. Glad to be away from that meanie Alice. Most of all she was glad that she wasn't sitting in the principal's office anymore. Besides, it was Alice that started throwing food in the first place. Sophia just threw some mashed potatoes back at her...and accidentally hit Mr. Johnson.
Sophia had had enough trouble for one day. She would finish her cookies quickly then try and go upstairs to her room - hopefully without having to explain what happened to her mom. As she swallowed the last bite Sophia grabbed her backpack...and the phone rang.
"Hello" her mother answered the phone. "Yes, this is Mrs. Knight." Sophia continued to sneak toward her room. "Principal Brooks? Oh no, what happened this time?" Sophia was almost around the corner when her mother did the snap. The snap that meant "you better come here this instant and not make a sound or you're grounded for a month." Sophia turned around and walked, feet dragging, toward her mother. So much for no more trouble.
