what i do to save my butt. so when i got home today i took a shower and then i was drying my hair and i thought of my progress report. i was like oh snap cuz i had a feeling i was going to get it today. so i run downstairs and ask my nanny if we got mail today and she was like yea so i start looking in the mail pile to find it. my aunt walks in and she says, "expecting mail" and i was like yea. so i look for 5 minutes and i still couldn't find it. my mom comes in and i ask her if she got the summer school pamphlet yet to give her a reason why i was looking in the mail pile (since i never do), she said, "no it's a little early" so i said, "well it's march and we have 3 months until summer so it should be here by now". anyway
for some reason i didn't believe my nanny that she brought my mom the mail. i just had this strong feeling, so i sneakily open the front door and it's super windy outside and run to the mail box and open it. guess what was inside? the mail. so i reach my hand in and i could get ALL the mail except the progress report and i was like OH EFF. i go back in the house and tell my mom i got most of the mail but i couldn't reach the others and i think the summer school pamphlet is in there still. she gives me the key to the mail box and i run back outside. i unlock the box and there it was. i was SOO relieved. i stash it in my pocket and run to the door to find out that i accidently locked myself outside of the house. at this point i'm freaking out cuz i can't ring the door bell cuz then my mom would open the door and she would see the progress report in my pocket. i thought of other ways to get back in the house. i was going to get in from the backyard and use the kitchen door but everyone was in the kitchen cuz it was time for dinner. so the only other way to get in was to climb the wall and hop the garage fence. this i did and almost killed my ankle. i run in from the laundry door and silently run up the stairs. i tear open the progress report look at it and hide it. then i run back downstairs and open the front door and close it noisily to let my mom know i was back inside the house.
so i was walking to the kitchen and then i freaked out again cuz my mom was probably expecting something in my hands. i spotted a coupon booklet on the far side of the counter and i slyly slid it in my hands and i said, "i thought this was the pamphlet" and i threw it away.
man she didn't notice a thing.
