Ava

Do you have any questions the lady smiled handing me my papers

No not today I said fixing my dress

Okay we'll have a nice day she nodded

I got off the chair as genesis grabbed milly hand following me out.

Rah grabbed my bag as we got in the car

Call me okay I said hugging genesis

Okay she nodded stepping away from the car.

We waited until she pulled off before we left the parking lot.

Can I go to school please milly said

You don't have school today remember rah said

Oh yeah I'm with with mommy then she shrugged

He rolled his eyes stepping on the break

He dropped us off then he left

You hungry baby I asked

Yes I said

You want some meat balls I asked

Yess she said clapping

I smiled sitting my phone on the counter.

I washed my hands before taking the meat out looking for a side dish

Can I help mommy she said

Yeah you want mashed potatoes or French fries I asked

Um the yummy mashed potatoes you made last time she nodded

Okay I said

I'm gonna go wash my hands she said

Okay be careful I said

She nodded again before she disappeared in the back

I seasoned the meat before rolling them into balls sticking them in the oven.

I waited on milly as she helped me make the mashed potatoes

She wanted corn on the cob so I made that too.

Once everything was done I made our plates sitting them on the island

I picked up my phone dialing rah number

Hello he said

Hey um I cooked if your hungry I said
