Sophie hoped Aunt Maggie’s feelings were not hurt. But Aunt Maggie didn’t look hurt. She looked like she hadn’t heard Sophie.

“What’s that?” she asked with one hand behind her ear.

“I said, I think I would like that bug pin!” Sophie said again, a little more loudly.

“You mean this broach?” said Aunt Maggie.

Broach? Was that like a roach? Sophie wondered.

“I guess so,” Sophie said. “But it looks like a ladybug to me.”

Aunt Maggie smiled. “Well, if there’s one thing I like, it’s a girl who’s honest. It’s yours!” she said.

She pinned the broach to Sophie’s shirt.

“Thank you!” Sophie said. She felt as sparkly as the ladybug … or broach … or whatever.

“I guess I’ll be giving this book to Hayley,” said Aunt Maggie. “I wonder where she is….”

She shrugged and put the book down. Then she pulled out something else. It was orange and shaped like a pumpkin. Sophie was pretty sure it was a lamp. And she was very sure it was broken.

Aunt Maggie gave it a pat. “This is for your dad. He can fix it up. It will be fun! I hate to throw things out, don’t you?” she said.

Sophie looked up from her pin.

“Oh, we like to throw stuff out,” she told Aunt Maggie. “Mom throws out most of the stuff you give us. And my dad can’t fix anything. And Hayley is in her room. She’s trying to get a boyfriend by telling him lies about her homework.”

“Sophie!” her mom said. She was shaking her head.

“Sophie!” said Hayley. She had just walked in.

Why did everyone look so mad?

“Aunt Maggie!” said Sophie’s dad. He had just walked in, too. “I didn’t know you were coming. This is a surprise! And mmm … smells good! What’s for dinner?” he asked.

“Don’t ask, Dad,” Sophie told him. “It’s lasagna. And it’s a surprise, too.”
