Maria is a kid who sees things her own way- and expects the world to see it her own way too! Her friend Joey is more practical. He helps keep her grounded, though that’s as easy as handling a Thanksgiving balloon in a hurricane. Sue is special and she knows it- better than anyone. She’s writing her autobiography now, but she’ll live it later. Bob takes things slower. Ms. Payne is their teacher- she enjoys her job, she truly does. She’d enjoy it even more without the students.

another kid that knows how to play the parents. That is page 1 of chapter 2 in the How to Raise Good Parents book.

In the end, it rarely works out for Maria. She’s watching too much TV, where she gets the message that kids are smarter than their parents. Then reality comes and wakes her up again.

Good try, Maria, but you’re only going to get compliments… nothing material.

Usually when someone says it’s the thought that counts, it means they bought you a cheap gift.

Then good luck Maria.

Which, ironically, betrays a lack of thought.

Mom and Dad need to get smart and name things like: keep your room clean, help with the dishes, set the table. All things she can do and, according to my folks when I was that age, wonderful gifts.
