“Miss Stephanie,” I say. “My mom is in a very important meeting, and she cannot come to the phone right now.” I shrug. “Sorry, it is out of my hands.”

But Miss Stephanie is not listening. She is in the main office, and she is asking the secretary for my mom’s phone number right away. And then she is calling her! She is dialing that number immediately. And then she is asking right away if I am allowed to be wearing that dress.

“What did she say?” I whisper when Miss Stephanie is hanging up the office phone.

“She said she is coming to bring you some different clothes.”

My mom is very, very, very mad. On account of how I wore that dress to school. And on account of how she had to bring me new clothes and miss her very big important meeting.

This day is getting worse and worse. Especially after school when I have to go work at Aunt Denise’s house.

“Hello, Hailey,” Aunt Denise says when she opens the door. “Come on in.”

My mom is coming in, too. Her and Aunt Denise are going to sit in the kitchen and drink coffee and eat cake while me and Cousin Angela are working our butts off. That does not sound like a very fair plan.

“I hope we are not going to be doing any yard work,” I say. “I hate yard work.” Yard work is very hard because you get dirty and you have to use a wheelbarrow. I know all about it because one time I had to do some yard work for my neighbor Mr. Frisk. He is very old. Maybe even one hundred. And so he cannot do yard work all by his own self.

“Today you are going to be cleaning out Uncle Adam’s car,” Aunt Denise says. She holds out one trash bag to me. And one trash bag to Cousin Angela. Cousin Angela takes the bag. She is picking her nose.

“That girl is very gross,” Maybelle says. “She is always picking her nose.”

Me and Cousin Angela go outside. I am hoping this is going to be an easy job. But when we open that car door, it is a very big disaster area! Uncle Adam’s car is even worse than Kaitlyn’s room! And Kaitlyn’s room is the biggest mess I ever saw in my whole life.
