When it comes down to it..

so, a few days ago my friend called me telling me to come to Disneyland with her and our mutual friend. I explained that I was grounded, but, I would try.

I asked my parents if they would let me go... of course, I would need to work as hard as I could to get a ton of homework done. Fine, I'll do it.

Obstacles I met along the way:

#1 the funeral.

Well, turns out my dad has to do something so we won't be going to the funeral. That means if I get a ton of homework done I can go. YAY!

#2. Getting a ride.

Well, Cor said her family could pick me up and give me a ride. So I can go! YAY!

#3. Mom.

Mom says "call your dad" (meaning to get the final word of whether or not I can go)

I call my dad, confident in the homework I've done.

"Hey, dad, I was wondering if I can go to Disneyland tonight, I've been working hard on my homework"

"well, I think it's a good idea for you to stay home that way you can help your mom because she's sick"

"... ok.."

"Sorry buddy"

OF COURSE!

Story of my life.

It wasn't the fact that I was grounded, it wasn't that I didn't do enough homework, it wasn't even because I couldn't get a ride, it was that I had to take care of my mom...

meanwhile I sit here while she bakes in the kitchen, I think she has the invisible flu...?
