"Do I make you pasta or sandwich?" I asked Alex who seems to be so disorganized this morning. 

"I want chicken wings with butter ranch and baked beans. I want boba too," he shouted as he ran around the room, laughing hysterically. 

I have no idea why Jessie hasn't been around this morning. She seems to be a punctual person but she is coming in late today of all days that I have a meeting at work this morning. 

"Oh, come on, Alex. You know that's going to be a long route of breakfast to follow. I would have to drive a few miles just to get that," I explained as if he could hear me. 

"What's making you so happy anyway?" I asked him eventually as I walked briskly to the room to get him. 

"Jessie is taking me out today after school. I like Jessie," he voiced out happily. I must say Jessie has a way with children. It was usually so hard for Alex to get so used to strangers quickly but she was able to pull that within a few weeks.
