School mornings were always busy. The first sentence I usually heard was, "It's time to rise!" It was Mom's loudest voice and there was no way I could pretend not to hear it or hide from it.
"Okay, Mum. I'm getting up and dressed!" I would manage to call back.
Mum spoke loudly again as she announced, "Breakfast is ready!"
By then, I couldn't get to the kitchen fast enough. In fact, it was a race between my sister, my brother, and me. We usually seated ourselves at the same time, sometimes knocking each other out of our places. After breakfast, we all rushed out to the bus stop as we took our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit and dessert.
Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make or buy it? " Oh, well," I thought." It's only one time, so it's no big deal." But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked, "Mum! Why haven't you been putting a dessert in my school lunches? "
Mum answered," Why, Eugene, I have been including a dessert in your lunch. If you're not getting them, then who is?"
So then we thought of my activities and what I did with my lunch each day. As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches. And that brought us to Carl, the bad boy of the third-grade classroom. The teacher didn't like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of each day.
Carl lived in a group of foster home (集体寄养之家). He, was loud and somewhat of a thief, and he would take almost anything that wasn't fastened down, so he wasn't welcome at school. Mom and I concluded that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked.
