“My mom is old,” said Billy as he plowed his truck through a pile of sand alongside the curb.
“My mom is ancient!” said Tommie. He ran his car head-on into Billy’s.
“What are you boys doing?” asked Tommie’s mom, coming up behind them and scaring both.
“We’re just talking about how beautiful our moms are,” answered Tommie.
Tommie’s mom smiled. “You can keep that up.”
Tommie shrugged and his mom walked away.
Now I sit me down to rest
I hope to get this off my chest

“Jimmy!” calls Mom from downstairs. “It’s time to get up for school!”
