Later that night when I came home from four movies by myself, I snatched a couple of cookies from the cookie jar then started climbing the stairs to the second floor, remembering to dodge the 5th step because it squeaked. I didn’t want to get cornered by my mother, even though I have no idea why she wants to talk to me. As I opened my door, there she sat, on my bed.

“Hi hun. How was the movie?”

“Good. I…uh…we watch four movies.”

“Oh okay, well I forgot who you went with. Who was it again?”

“It was um Elliot, Brandon, Courtney and Brittany.”

“Oh well, thats interesting. Courtney just called asking if you wanted to go shopping.”
