If a Tree Falls At Lunch Period
“Downstairs, Kippy is busy reading Tree Doctor: A Complete Guide to Tree Care and Maintenance.
"Did you see the new tree Dad bought?" Kip asks.
"Is he here?" "Yeah. Look, he got me this book. He said I can be in charge of watering, pruning, fertilizer..." Kip follows me to our dad's office, still holding the book.
My father looks up from his laptop. "Well, if it isn't my two brilliant daughters." He puts his arms out to us.
"One brilliant daughter, Dad," I mutter.
"Tell her about the tree! Tell ...her," Kip says.
"I bought a tree for out front. A new tree. A new beginning. Won't that be nice? Everything is going to be fine here. Yes it is," my father says.
"Yay!" Kippy yells at the top of her lungs.
I wish I could believe him the way she does, but at least he's trying. I even think about showing him my extra credit. Well, for a nanosecond, anyway. I did a good job on that extra credit. That was more work than I usually do all year. But when I showed it to Walk, he was like: "Yeah, fine, turn it in." Yeah, fine, turn it in.MoreLess
