I'm not going to be around for your birthday this week”. My dad said from the far end of the dining table. “I'll make it up to you”.
I stood in front of the window of miss Stephanie's house watching as my dad drove away.
“Don't worry baby, your birthday will go smoothly as planned”. She said smiling down at me.
“Liar”. Her daughter muttered under her breath going back to her spelling book.
If there was a word to describe her daughter I'll jump right on it and give you a description. Weird is one word.
“What did you say?”. I asked the minute Stephanie was out of earshot.
She sighed loudly. “Whenever my mama says, don't worry your birthday would be fun. It never is”.
