It's approximately 3:37 p.m. and you just got off the bus.
It wasn't so bad today because the bus driver didn't make you have a "silent bus" because someone got too rowdy. You make it inside by 3:39 p.m. with just enough time to grab some cheese doodles in your favorite Star Wars bowl and beat your siblings to the remote to turn on Arthur promptly at 4:00 p.m. and sing the theme song like you do every time.
Your mom won't be home for another hour so you decide to be a secret ninja and eat a few spoonfuls of the chocolate ice cream in the freezer and tell no one. You put the spoon in the trash because it seems like the best way to hide it and get rid of the evidence.
Your mom comes home and sees chocolate on your face.
You forgot about that. Dang, it. She still loves you though so it's okay. She says it's homemade mac and cheese for dinner and you cheer internally and externally.
You had forgotten that it was Thursday but that meant tomorrow was extra recess at school, score. You have a scheduled three-way call with your two besties Abby and Becky at 6:00 p.m. on the dot to play Webkinz at the same time and find each other in the Tournament Arena. You're unstoppable in Super Modelz. It's now 6:01 p.m. and you find Abby's number that's highlighted in the school directory because you haven't memorized her number yet because it looks just like Anna's. You call and ask her mom if you can talk to her but she got her home phone privileges taken away after bringing home the school gerbil even though her mom said no. You can't leave her out so you don't call Becky.
Oh well, you can play with the neighbors instead.
You see Nathan playing basketball outside in his driveway and one by one the neighborhood kids gather. You all decide on kickball instead because the driveway is too steep. One of the older kids shows up and always cheats. Hate that guy. In the middle of the game, it's getting pretty dark so your mom calls you out the front door to come home. You all decide to pick up at the game again when you get off the bus tomorrow at 3:37 p.m. tomorrow.
Can't wait.
