Grounded
by Floyd Looney
“But Da-ad!” I
begged all through dinner He was not giving in, though.
“I said no” he
told me “I meant it. I am not going to change my mind”
I looked down at the
plate, half-finished. “Can I be excused?”
Normally I had to
eat everything but dad was in such a foul mood that he let me go to
my room. I would not be allowed to go outside and play with new
friend. My only friend, I would like to point out.
It was not fair, I
knew, as I opened the window and there he was. He waved and I waved.
He did a flip and I laughed.
Even Zenog was
trying to cheer me up.
I just wanted to put
on my pink spacesuit with the purple flowers on it and go outside and
play with him for a while. I even promised not to get too close to
the asteroid dad was studying. Oh well, maybe dad will be in a better
mood tomorrow.
