My Ordinary Day, page 1 

"Dad , can we get a dog?" I asked. "Maybe", said my Dad . "OK", I said. 
"Mom ... Dad said we could get a dog." I whined. "No Caitlyn ," said Mom. "But Mom," I said. "No." Said Mom again. "OK, but Dad told me OK." I complained. "Maybe. He told you maybe ," said Mom. "Now go play. " 
I was so happy that Dad had told me that maybe I could get a dog . Mom said no , I asked if my brother Curtis could take me to my friends house to play. "Yes" Mom said. "Curtis," Mom said , "I need you to take your little sister to her friend's house. Is that OK with you?" "Yes Mom," Said Curtis. "Bye , Mom and Dad, I will see you at 7:00," I yelled. "Bye" they said back. Then my brother took me to my friend's house.
