4 A Home Remedy

CHAPTER 4 A HOME REMEDY As I slouch on the couch, Mom comes over and sits down next to me. "What's the matter?" she asks. I tell her about the Halloween party, the contest, and my costume problem. She smiles, takes my hand, and leads me up to the attic. There she opens an old trunk and pulls out a cardboard crown.

I WONDER IF IT WILL STILL FIT?

"When I was a little girl, we didn't have much money either," she smiles while putting on the crown. "So I just made my own costumes, like this princess costume." She straightens two of the crown's droopy points. "That's a great idea, Mom," I say as she looks in the mirror.

She skipped back to the trunk and pulled out a big pink eras- er cap. "Another year, I was a number two pencil," she winks while putting on the cap. "It was a pretty sharp costume." "I get the point, Mom, but I don't know what to be," I sigh. "Just use your imagination, Hubie." She smiles, pats me on the shoulder, and goes back downstairs as an eraser head.
