I woke up at the crack of dawn, as usual, but this time I saw my mom down stairs. And sure enough she was looking at the 'Help Wanted' section. She walked over and handed it to me and walked back up stairs. I looked through endless jobs bust boy, bank teller, blah blah blah blah BLAH! Until I reached the bottom of the 'Help wanted, Night guard at pizza place'
"Huh, this looks pretty okay." I said to myself.
I kept scrolling through the paper but nothing else caught me eye. I heard the sound of my mom's footsteps as she came down make us breakfast.
"Hey buddy!" She said with loads of enthusiasm
"Hey mom" I replied
"Find any good things in the paper: jobs, news, JOBS. Oops did I say jobs twice?" she said.
"Yes mom, you did" I said with a little bit of giggle in my voice.
"At a pizza place, night guard, EASY" I added
"Great, now, why don't you call them?" She suggested
I grabbed the phone, dialed the number, and the job was almost mine.
