"Don't just say you'll keep your promise, remember it in your heart. Otherwise, the next time someone comes to your parent meeting, it'll be your dad!"
Ryan Seys imagined his dad coming to school, sitting in the classroom with a cool and noble demeanor, maintaining the meticulous image he enforced with employees at the company... Ryan found himself rather startled by the image conjured in his mind.
That's not the look for a parent meeting; it seemed more like a leader inspecting the school...
"I promise I won't cause any more trouble!" Ryan assured, looking serious.
He could avoid causing trouble, but the key was for people at school to be sensible and not pick on him!
Ariel Morris bought ice cream for the three kids at school. Iris Seys was the first to unwrap hers, took a bite, then pouted, dissatisfied. Her bright eyes darted around, and she leaned over to Finley Sutherland and whispered, "Finley, can we exchange? I want to try yours."
Finley handed over his ice cream.
