Jasper John Dooley, Left Behind (2013)
“Dad carried her big suitcase out of her apartment, and Mom carried Nan’s small suitcase. Jasper took her purse. He rapped the jaws of the lion-head knocker that guarded Nan’s place and said in a loud, liony voice, “Have a good trip, Nan!”
In his Jasper voice he asked, “Where are you going, anyway, Nan?”
“She’s going on the trip of a lifetime,” Dad said. “A cruise to Alaska.”
“You mean on a boat?” Jasper said, going ahead to press the elevator button.
“On a ship,” Nan said. “A hu...ge ship.”
“You’re going on a ship trip?”
Everybody laughed. Then the elevator came, and they all got in. Jasper pressed “L” for lobby. “Why didn’t you tell me about the ship?” he asked Nan.
“I did. I told you last Wednesday when you were over.”
As they rode down, Nan told him about the ship again.MoreLess
