HOME AT LAST!

Madeline drug her book bag behind her as she and her Mom walked toward the parking lot. BUMP! BUMP! BUMP! The bag bounced along the sidewalk. "OUCH! OWEE! OH! OUCH! OWEE! OUCH! That hurts!" Oscar mumbled.

When they got to the car Madeline opened the car door and tossed her book bag in the backseat. "YOOOWWLLL!" Oscar yelled as the bag landed with a thud in the floor of the car. As Mom drove home Madeline's book bag kept falling over and sliding around in the floor. "AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH! I'M UPSIDE DOWN!" cried Oscar. Oscar didn't think they would ever get home!
It seemed like forever before Oscar felt the bag being picked up again and the felt a thump as it was dropped in the floor.
He waited until he heard Madeline and Mom walk out of the room and then snuck out of the bag. He ran into the living room, shoved his clothes under the couch and dove under the coffee table and pretended to be asleep. Just a few minutes later he heard Madeline calling, "OSCAR TIME TO GO OUTSIDE!"
Boy that was close thought Oscar as he trotted off to see Madeline.
