BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Abitha was getting tired of tooting her own horn ... literally. She had been waiting in front of the Sinclair house for fifteen minutes! “Where are they?” she asked herself. “If y’all don’t get out here in five seconds, I’m leavin’ without you! Five Mississippi ... Four Mississippi ... three Mississippi ...” Laurel and Jackie came running out the front door. “It’s about time! What took you so long?” “We were runnin’ a lil behind.” “A lil behind?” “We were tryna make sure we had everything until you started talkin bout some damn Five Mississippi, four Mississippi,” Jackie explained. “We needed to stop you ‘fore you made a fool of yourself.” “Too late!” they both joked.
