The Sad News

The Three Musketeers ran out of school together. We saw my mommy in her car and Hannie’s mommy in her car. We all ran to my mommy first.

“Is Daniel home?” asked Hannie. “Is he home yet?”

“Not yet,” said Mommy.

“Boo,” said the Three Musketeers.

Then Hannie said, “I have to go. Someone call me when Daniel comes home, okay? I want to know the minute he is home.”

“Okay,” Nancy and I promised.

That afternoon, Nancy and I sat in the living room at the little house. We sat by the window. We held our dolls in our laps.

We waited and waited and waited. We did not see the Daweses’ car.

After a long time, the phone rang. Mommy answered it. When she hung up, she called, “Nancy? Karen? Can you come here, please?”

We ran into the kitchen.

“Girls,” said Mommy, “I have some sad news. Daniel is not feeling very well, so he will not be coming home this afternoon.”

Nancy looked scared. “What’s the matter with him?” she asked.

“Nothing too serious,” said Mommy. “A couple of little problems. One of them is called jaundice. Lots of babies get that. They just need to stay in the hospital for a few extra days. When Daniel does come home, he will be feeling fine.”

“Okay,” said Nancy. She looked as scared as ever. “Is Mommy coming home?”
