Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 10, 2004
Transcript:
Holly: You don't really know me, Mom. You don't know how much is on my mind! You don't know that every day I wake up thinking... Seventh grade?! Is that really what I want to do with my life right now?? Maybe I need to find myself first! Maybe I aspire to greater things!! Val: How about you aspire to passing seventh grade? That would be a great thing... Alix: How'd it go? Holly: If you want to live outside the box, don't ask your Mom.
I love that Max is there sleeping behind his aunt. Such a realistic slice of life.
