“And this is Patricia,” Sally said, pointing at her other sister. “She’s in sixth grade.”

Patricia was dressed as Supergirl! She has blond hair like Sally.

“Hi, how’s middle school?” I asked Patricia. I always heard about high school from Eunice, but I’d never really heard about middle school. It was where I was going after elementary school, so I was pretty curious.

“It’s okay.” Patricia shrugged. “Elementary school was more fun, though.”

Once we were all done saying hi, Dad asked, “So, girls, what do you want to do first?”

“The haunted house!” I yelled, and at the same time Sally and her sisters said, “Pumpkin patch!”

Dad’s face became a little green when he heard me say “haunted house.” He doesn’t like scary things like I do.

“Okay, we can definitely do everything at some point,” he said. “But let’s go to the pumpkin patch for now!”

I really wanted to go to the haunted house, but that was fine by me. The pumpkin patch was so cute! There were countless pumpkins in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some of them were orange, while others were yellow and green. Some of them were normal pumpkins, while others were jack-o’-lanterns carved into various shapes. My favorite was the one carved to look like Snoopy!

After we were done exploring, we all gathered around for a group photo. I was so happy!

While we were walking out of the pumpkin patch, I heard people screaming in the haunted house.

“Dad!” I said. “Can we go to the haunted house now?”

Dad looked at me, and then at our group. “Hmm, I don’t know. Mindy, you should ask if everyone else wants to go to the haunted house too.”

“Sure, I’ll go,” said Martha. “I’m not scared.”

“I—I’ll pass,” Patricia said. “I hate haunted houses.”

“I want to go too!” yelled Sally. “But only if Mommy goes with me.”

“Of course I’ll go with you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Johnson said. “I don’t think you can go in without an adult anyway.”

Dad sighed. “And I’ll go with you, Mindy.”

“Are you sure, Brian?” Julie asked. She looked a little worried about Dad. “I can go in with her if you want.”

“Yeah, you don’t have to if you don’t want to, Dad,” I said. “Mrs. Johnson will be there with me too!”

Dad shook his head. He looked really determined.

“No, it’s okay,” said Dad. “I’ll do anything for you, Mindy. Even go into the haunted house. Let’s go!”

“Yay!” I said. “Thanks, Dad!”

I was so excited to go to the haunted house!
