It was three o'clock. Time for the kids to come home from school.
Maddie showed up first and walked into the family room where I sat folding laundry.
Hi, Maddie! How was your day?
"Shhhhhhhh," she whispered. "I'm not here."
At first I assumed she was hiding from a sibling close on her tail.
But, no. She just plopped down on the couch, feet up and started reading.
I'm a bit perplexed. "Where are you then?"
She did not look up from her book and kept her whispered tone, "England." (She was reading the last chapter of a Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone).
Ahhhhh, books.
