‘So what do we do now?’ she asked, spitting a soggy crumb onto my cheek. ‘Sorry.’ She can’t help it. It’s the braces.

‘’S OK,’ I said.

‘You don’t like peanut butter, do you?’

‘Not much.’

‘So do we carry on, or what?’

‘What do you think?’

‘I don’t know. You decide. You’re the one who needs the money.’

‘We could carry on,’ I said, reluctantly. I looked up at the sky, which had a single, tiny, wispy little white cloud in it. ‘We could. Although I think it might be about to rain.’

‘Or we could go back to mine and dry off. And you could have cheese on toast. And we could practise the puppet show.’

I thought about it. I was soaked to the skin, I still ached all over from the day before and the blister on my thumb had burst. Besides, I’m fond of cheese on toast.

We went back to Flora’s and worked on the puppet show. It was a lot more fun than washing cars.

We both agreed we wouldn’t mention the incident to our parents. We would have got a lecture for sure, even though it wasn’t really our fault. Besides. Washing the wrong car. It made us look silly.
