The Dog Ate My Homework!!!

Psssshhhh!!! We lurched to a stop. I thundered down the aisle my backpack bumping wildly behind me like a puppy on a skateboard bumping back and forth back and forth. I scrambled down the steps and waited for the big yellow bus to roll down the street, like a big yellow beetle. I waited until I saw it disappear down the winding road and then scampered down the driveway.

I slammed the door shut and spread out my homework all over the table. “Do your homework Lucy!!!” my mom screamed from up stairs. “Just one more minute,” I yelled back. Without listening for a reply, I slammed the the door and ran outside into the brisk cold air.

A few minutes later I heard my mom yell from the upstairs window, “Lucy do your homework immediately!” “Fine!” I shouted back. I stomped inside and stopped in mid track. I picked up what remained of my homework and stared down at the rest of the soggy, chewed scraps. I felt like doing cart wheels. “The dog ate my homework!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. I started dancing around the kitchen. I was so surprised and happy at the same time. It was a dream come true! The dog ate my homework!!!
