CHAPTER 27 - NEWNESS

Today is the day I have to go back to work and Ana is not too happy about it.

She has been acting up since morning, which she rarely does, causing trouble ever since she has woken up.

"Ana! Come down already! Why did you run up again?" I shout from downstairs. I just went in to get her fruits and she ran up the third time in the last five minutes.

I sigh.

"I stay alone!" she says running back down. She is sort of hyper active today.

"Absolutely not. You'll be going over to Uncle Jay's."

"No! No! No!" She stomps her foot.

"What Ana? You don't want to meet Uncle Jay and play with Carol?" I ask as I pick her up and place her on the high chair.

"No! Don't goooo!" She whines.

"I'll only be gone for a couple of hours and be back before you know it, I promise." I tell her gently.

"I be naughty!" She threatens.

I stare at her.

"By all means, go ahead and be naughty, Jay will toast your butt." I tell her.

"I will rub my eyes, run around and not take a nap."
