Millie And the Night Heron (2009)
“Usually if I’ve been away she’s all questions, questions, questions. This time she opened the front door and looked almost surprised it was me.
‘Oh, hi Millie,’ she said, ‘you’re home early.’ ‘No, I’m not,’ I said, dropping my bag so I could hug her. ‘It’s about five past six, actually.’ ‘Of course, so it is.’ She hugged me quickly. ‘Have a good time?’ ‘It was brilliant. Really great. We stayed up until late last night, watching videos and talking. Helen’s mother’s cool, too. She’s a low-ma...intenance mother. You know, here’s the popcorn, girls, don’t burn it. And Helen’s bedroom is fantastic. She’s got all these posters everywhere—not just movie star posters, although she’s got some of those, but animals, too. It’s great.’ ‘Good. I’m pleased you had such a good time,’ Mum said. ‘I think we’ll have noodles for dinner, take-away noodles. Is that okay?’ I followed her into the kitchen.
‘I haven’t quite finished cleaning up in here,’ she said.MoreLess
