"My Moma Told Me. When I Was Young. Sit Beside Me. My Only Son. And Listen Closely. To What I Say. And Is Ya Do This, It'll Help You Some Sunny Day." My alarm woke me up with Simple Man By Shinedown.

I decided to wake Alanza with a song.

"Oh, Take Your Time, Dont Live Too Fast. Troubles Will Come And They Will Pass. You'll Find A Woman And You'll Find Love. And Don't Forget Son, There Is Someone Up Above." I meant the lyrics, more than she'd ever know. Dispite what we're living in, i want Alanza's life to be good. I want her happy and safe.

"And Be A Simple Kind Of Man, Oh Be Something You Love And Understand." We sang together. Before I pressed dissmiss.

"Ok all i can smell is your breath and gosh it needs washing. Alanza. Bathroom. Now."

"It doesn't stink!" She smells her breath. "I just smell like last night's tuna!"

"Alanza! That's discusting. Teeth, now."

She walks to the bathroom and I walk to the kitchen to make her breakfast muttering how gross that is.

"I'm done!"

She walks into the kitchen sitting down to the find her way through the maze on the back of the cereal box. I started to head to the bathroom.

I walked in to the bathroom and did what needed to be done. I threw on a quick pair of ripped leans and a t shirt.

She ran to her bike. I guess we're taking the bikes today. We don't live in the best of neiborhoods, so this was taking a chance riding. It'd be too easy to steal from two 'little girls'. We went in the direction on Holmes Elementery. Though my school was closer, it was better for my to take Alanza myself. Upon arriving, we saw Ms. Hagg at the door. Alanza looked at me worried.

"You'll be fine. I love you, be good"
