Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would
have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and
threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him
every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine
and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her
after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often said.

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his
emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand,
Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There, there, Max. We’ll just find
something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered
him a sandwich. Max snapped, “I don’t wanna sand-mich!” A flash from the sky lit up the living
room. Boom! Mom sighed.

“Tommy!” Mom called out as she walked in the front door. “Tommy,” she continued shouting, “I
sure could use some help with these groceries. There was still no reply. Mom walked into the
kitchen to put the grocery bags down on the counter when she noticed shattered glass from the
picture window all over the living room floor and a baseball not far from there. “I’m going to kill
you, Tommy!” Mom yelled to herself as she realized that Tommy’s shoes were gone.

Today was a special day in Ms. Smith’s class. Some of the children were walking around the room,
some of them were standing in small groups, and some of them were at their desks, putting
finishing touches on cardboard mailboxes. After coloring a cool flame on the side of his racecar
mailbox, Johnny hopped off his chair, strutted over to Veronica’s desk, and dropped a small white
envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Veronica blushed and played with her hair. While this
was happening, Bartleby was frantically trying to put a small white envelope into everyone’s
mailbox. After giving one to Ms. Smith, Bartleby pulled out a medium-sized red envelope from his
pocket. He blushed and tried to put it in Veronica’s mailbox, but it wouldn’t quite fit. Bartleby
struggled with it for a few seconds and then ran off with the envelope. Veronica rolled her eyes and
popped her gum.
