The Girl and the Wolf

Mom?!!

I ran out of my room and looked downstairs. It was just my mom. A frying pan fell, this is the first time she is home early. "Mom, what are you doing here early?" I said as I was walking down the stairs. "I just finished up work so I could see my daughter." while grabbing the frying pan that fell. I went towards the kitchen and sat down, "I was trying to grab the pan so I could cook but it fell instead." She said while smiling awkwardly. How did I not notice her when I came in was my question.
