It started like any other morning for Rolo...well any of the last four morning since he started at his new school. 10 year Rolo was the new kid in town,as well as in school. He and his mom had just moved into town a few weeks back, giving him time to learn a few things about his new surroundings, make a couple new friends and get all signed up for school. Like all new kids Rolo had his likes, dislikes and...secrets.
The alarm clock blared it's loud and annoying tone at 6:45 am, and again at 7:00 and 7:15. Unfortunately for Rolo he had a bad habit of hitting the "snooze" button, so he tended to find himself running late, though usually making it in time.
After rushing to get his shirt on, wash his face, brush his teeth, change himself out of his Overnight diapers and slip into his favorite pair of sneakers, he grabbed his backpack and headed out remembering to lock the door behind him. Unfortunately for our little stripe-tailed friend, he didn't realize until the door had clicked shut behind him he was missing one important piece of clothing today.
Mom's a night-shift worker, she is going to be neither easy to wake up nor happy when he finally does get her to the door. But at least she'll have a story to tell his company at the dinner table when he's older.^u^
and top it all off there is no way he's going to make it to school on time today.
