I love my mom. I mean, she can be a party pooper sometimes, but today she let me go to the zoo with Chloe and her mom’s girlfriend. I haven’t met her mom’s girlfriend yet, but hey, how bad can it be? If she is boring, Chloe and I can just run away and tell her to meet us somewhere or something.
To top it off, my mom took me shopping earlier and got me this really cool new shirt. Now Chloe only has to convince her mom to buy the same shirt and we’ll be like twins. How cool is that?! When my mom drops me off at Chloe’s place, Chloe’s mom invites my mom in. I hate when moms do that kind of stuff, I mean they are only gossiping about us. In a way it would be totally cool if my mom and Chloe’s mom became best friends.
While my mom and Chloe’s mom are talking in the kitchen, Chloe is showing me her iPod. She tells me her mom’s girlfriend gave it to her. Maybe my mom should get a girlfriend.
My mom leaves-but not without giving me a kiss and a hug- which, by the way, is totally embarrassing. I’m not five anymore. Just minutes after mom leaves, I get the surprise of my life.
Chloe’s mom’s girlfriend, whose name I still don’t know, parks her car in front of the house. The car seems familiar but hey, I remember the weirdest things. As the woman steps out of the car, I could swear I hear my jaw hit the floor. Well, I’ll be damned! Oops, I didn’t think that. I kinda don’t know what to do or say at the moment. How do I react? I already know her.
Man, I don’t think I’ve ever been this shocked in my life. I always thought she was into her boss, or even into my mom. It really seemed like that sometimes. Oh. My. God. My best friend’s mom is dating Sara Sidle, my mom’s co-worker.
Don’t get me wrong, Sara is very cool. Hehe, come to think of it, I think she is scared of me. Whenever I’m at the lab, she starts to stutter to my mom. Maybe she is afraid mom will ask her to watch me or something, I always thought it was hilarious. Somehow I think now that maybe she isn’t afraid of children, since she actually offered to take us to the zoo. Or was it Chloe’s mom’s idea?
Chloe apparently said something to me because she is poking me in the side. I guess I drifted off or something. I mean, this is like shocking. Should I tell Chloe I know Sara? There is no need to, as Sara walks into the living room to get us. She suddenly looks sick, but I guess she is just as shocked as I am. Shall I just introduce myself and pretend I don’t know her? Or shall I fake being sick so mom can pick me up? Mom would know what to do, I’m sure of that.
Chloe squeals and runs over to Sara to thank her for letting me come along. I guess she didn’t notice the weird situation. Chloe’s mom, however, is looking at me as if I turned into an alien. I can’t help but stare at Sara in awe. Maybe she knows what to do.
Sara smiles at Chloe and gives her a hug. Not like the hugs mom gives me, but more like the hugs I give to Greg before I leave the lab.
Chloe takes Sara’s hand and pulls her towards me.
“Sara, this is...,” she starts.
“Lindsey Willows,” Sara finishes. Chloe looks up at her in awe, finally she got the picture.
Chloe’s mouth is hanging open as she looks at me. “You KNOW Sara?” She asks me in disbelief.
I can only nod.
Sara looks at me. When I look back at her, she smiles at me. Sara hardly ever smiles and I like the feeling it gives me. She is trying to make me feel comfortable. I like Sara.
The rest of the day seems to go by easily. It goes by without a hitch. I knew Sara was nice, but I never knew she was this nice. Chloe is so lucky that she has Sara. I wish she was dating my mom and not Chloe’s. Sara bought us ice creams, but not in the way normal adults do. She just gave us the money and let us go to the ice cream wagon by ourselves! That was so cool! We got to pay by ourselves and Chloe and I were so proud.
I never thought Sara could be so cool. I just thought that since she worked at the Crime Lab she would be a nerd like that Grissom guy, but she is actually very cool. She knows a lot of things about the animals. It was like the first time in my life I had fun learning stuff. I’m so glad I’m not an elephant! Did you know they are pregnant for like, 22 months?! My mom told me how she wanted me to come out after only 9 months. I can’t even begin to imagine how an elephant must feel. I’m going to tell my teacher about this on Monday.
When we get back to Chloe’s house I give Sara a hug and thank her for the great day. Chloe is all proud of her mom for having such a cool girlfriend. Well, I’m proud of myself for having a friend as cool as Sara. I have to find a way to convince her to spend some time with my mom and me. I’m sure my mom would love it.
Chloe’s mom tells us we can play in the backyard for a bit. Chloe and I go outside, but I know what her mom is doing with Sara, it’s not like I’m five! I don’t understand adults. I mean, what’s so fun about kissing? I kissed Ryan once and it wasn’t anything special. It was like kissing my grandma, apart from the fact that Ryan is a boy.
Chloe tells me Sara promised to work on her princess castle with her. It’s actually just a tree house, but who am I to judge?. At least Chloe HAS a tree house. Just as we are talking about Sara, she comes outside.
“Hey girls, are you two having fun?” She asks.
“Yeah, I was just telling Lindsey about the princess castle!” Chloe replies before I can say something.
Sara smiles and looks at me. “Do you want to help us with building it?”
I look up at her and nod. Did I say Sara is cool? She isn’t just cool, she is awesome!
“Chloe, I have to go, I hope you had a nice day.”
“I had a great day, thank you Sara,” Chloe answers, giving Sara a hug.
Sara looks at me as if she doesn’t know what to do. I hug her and tell her she should hang out with my mom and me sometime. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that because she turns beet red. Maybe she likes my mom. Hehe. When someone likes someone else, they always turn red when you talk about that person.
Sara turns around to walk back inside but I stop her.
“Sara?” I ask. She looks at me like she is scared.
“What’s up, Linds?”
“Do you want to hang out with me and mom sometime?”
“I’d love to, but I don’t know if your mom wants to.” She pauses to take a deep breath and then continues, “Linds, could you not tell your mom that you went to the zoo with me? She doesn’t know about Chloe’s mom yet.”
I nod. “It will be our secret,” I say to her. See? She treats me like a grown up. Of course I can keep her secret!
Sara winks at me before leaving. After she leaves, Chloe and I go inside to watch the new Barbie movie. I don’t like Barbie, but Chloe does so I watch it with her.
Halfway through the movie mom arrives to pick me up. Thank God for moms! This movie is so boring.
We go home quickly, and on the way home I tell her about my day. I don’t mention Sara at all, she will be so proud of me. When we get home mom orders me to bed right away. Oh well, you can’t have it all. As I am getting ready for bed, mom is still talking to me. She is very interested in Chloe’s mom’s girlfriend, which is odd.
“So, what’s her name?” My mom asks.
“It’s Sara, mom!” Oops, I did not just say that.
I guess I did because mom looks at me like I grew two heads.
“Sara?” Is all she says.
Uh oh, I’m going to be in trouble. I just wanna go to sleep and never wake up. I won’t survive this!
