At a little after eight o'clock at night, I tiptoed from my bedroom and crept as silently as I could
down the stairs. three steps from the bottom, I tripped over a stack of laundry--------and fell head first
the rest of the way.
I landed hard on my elbow and knees, but Ididn't make a sound. I'm used to falling. I do it all the time.
I jumped quikly to my feet and peeked into the front hallway. Had Mom and DAD heard me?
they had tv on in the den. they were watching the weather channel. they can watch the weather channel
for hours.
what's so inseresting about the weather? I could hear the women on tv talking about the wind chill in nova scotia.
I pulled n my blue down parka and made my way silently to the front door.
A few secends later, I was outside, jogging along the sidewalk.
