Like Their Mother

The bus honks from the street outside. She throws the brush down, hair still tousled, and grabs her books and violin. Flying out the door, she sprints down the very long driveway toward the bus, but unfortunately, it is speeding away. Too many days of waiting, and the driver lost patience. Mom and Dad aren't too happy that yet again they are driving her to school. At least the lunch that she forgot will go with her in the car.

Now speed forward about thirty-four years . . .

Sarah carries her shoes, books, and lunch, stuffing them in her backpack as she rushes out of the house. David and Kola brush their teeth in the car, since they spent too much time getting dressed and eating breakfast. Mama thinks of her own parents, remembering how much trouble she gave them!
