Mommy pat my head before standing up and walking toward my desk. She looked at the papers on my desk, aka the book I was working on yesterday.
“I see you got some writing done.” She said. I nodded, proudly, causing her to smile. “Did you write out any of your homework while you were at it?” I froze for a second. She had never asked me if I had gotten my homework done before, so I wasn’t expecting it. I shook my head.
“You need to do that baby.” She said. It didn’t sound like a suggestion. It probably didn’t help that she knew I’ve joked about missing assignments all semester.
“Why?” I whined. I was once again surprised, this time by my own whininess. I knew why I just hadn’t cared all semester.
