We watched some stupid movie and I was simply counting the minutes until it was over and I was closer to getting home. My friend’s mom picked us up...and we went to pizza. This day was taking forever. When we returned home, my friend asked his parents if we could have a sleepover. NOOO!! I remember telling my buddy I couldn’t as my mom and I were leaving early in the morning to go visit family. It was a lie but there was no way staying there. I rode my bike home like the wind. I came. She told me that the third dryer had gone out with a load of our clothes in it! Now we had no way to dry our clothes except to hang them up in the apartment and let them dry overnight. All of our underwear and ALL of her nighties were in the wash! After we hung as many things up as we could it was bedtime and I said, “Mom everything I wear to bed is in the wash. I don’t have anything and I don’t want to sleep in jeans.” “Well, I guess we’re in the same boat because all of my nighties are in. Under the pillow are the toys..."She pulled the cord to loosen the top and then dumped the contents out upon the bed before her. The clothe bag joined her clothing.I heard her laugh and her voice playfully spoke through my speaker, "Oh Master, you naughty boy!" Boy indeed! I will remember that the next I have her over my knee - that alone will get her five more!She pulled the next note from amongst the pile and read it. Her face and eyes revealed her surprise and I laughed when she even began. He handed it to Tracy. "Phone your parents and tell them the good news yourself, including Dinah's boy. You deserve to hear their congratulations first, my darling."Tracy did, and was chatting away for a while, then said, "You will want to speak to your youngest daughter, now. I'll get Trevor to take the phone to Dinah. Bye, Mum. Here, darling, take the call to Dinah, right away."Trevor rushed it to Dinah's room. "Dinah, your parents." And handed her the phone. Within moments, she was.
