I was planning to tell her to give you a detention.” My mother reached into a pocket in her apron and took out a small envelope. She opened it, took out the note that was inside it, and stuffed the note back into her apron pocket. She said, “You wait right there while I write another note.” She then left the parlor. When she returned several minutes later, she handed me the sealed envelope and said, “You will bring that note to Mother Frances as soon as you get to school. When school is over today, you will come straight home. Then we’ll talk about what we’re going to do about your lying to me.” I lived just a few blocks from school, but the distance seemed endless that day.
