Natalie Wants a Puppy
“I’m late getting to my Sunday school room.
Soon as I walk in, Laurie waves at me from the front row. “Nat! I saved you a seat!” she yells.
My bestest friend, Laurie, is a great seat saver. I take that seat next to her.
“Tell me everything!” she whispers, on account of our teacher, Mrs. Palmer, is talking too. “What kind of a puppy? Do you get to pick? When will you—”
“No puppy,” I whisper back.
“They changed their minds?” Laurie asks.
“I guess. We’re getting a baby from China instead. A boy.”
“...You are?” Laurie is big in her eyes.
I nod.
“Wow! A brother!” Laurie says this so loud that Mrs. Palmer looks at us. Only she is smiley-faced like Laurie.
“I always wanted a brother,” Laurie says.
“You did?” I’m surprised. Laurie acts even more excited about me getting a boy than she did about me getting a puppy.
Mrs. Palmer walks over to us. I think she’s going to tell us to be quiet. Only I’m wrong. “Congratulations, Natalie,” she says.
“Thank you.”MoreLess
