14. Good-Bye from Time-Out

Chapter 14 Good-Bye from Time-Out That evening, Mrs. Herman called my house. She asked my mom how my busted body was. After that, I had a little bit of explaining to do. Mom called Mr. Oshkosh after I told her the whole story. I told him I was sorry for faking a smushed body. He said he'd had a feeling I would make a full recovery.

Dad and Mom talked to me for a long time. About how I should do what makes me happy. Not what other people think is right for me. And they explained how there's no such thing as boy stuff or girl stuff. Then I explained that sometimes they make me more confused when they are trying to un-confuse me. Especially when it's complicated things like boys and girls. Dad said not to worry. Because he's still trying to figure that stuff out. Mom laughed. Then she threw a pillow at him. Sitting here in time-out, I have figured out one thing, at least. I'm going to take lots more tap classes.

And guess what? After the show, Dewan and Gus both asked me how they could sign up for tap lessons. And Wyatt actually asked if he could try my tap shoes on. So I let him. He said he wanted to see if the tappers would be good for smushing ants. But I could tell he liked that clickety-clack noise as much as I do. Well, almost as much. I like it so much I am going to keep taking dance lessons forever and ever, I think. Emma says she will too. She was right about how much fun we'd have. Emma is almost always right.
