Picture Day

Picture Day

Poppy's Picture Prep Poppy smiled at herself in the mirror. Her new blue dress and her beaded necklace looked absolutely perfect.

Poppy's mother was making fruit punch in the kitchen. “ Why are you dressed up today?" she asked. " I'm trying on my dress for class picture day tomorrow, " Poppy said. " I want to make sure everything is perfect. " " Well, I think you're already perfect, " Poppy's mom said. “ Don't drink the punch until you change out of your new dress, " her mom warned. She went to get Poppy's dress shoes from another room.

Her mom didn't understand that picture day was important. The class picture would be in the yearbook forever. Poppy gulped down the punch. “ Oh, sweetheart, " her mom said, " you spilled your punch! "

Poppy glanced down and gasped. She couldn't go to school picture day like this! " It'll be all right, " her mother said gently. “ I'll wash it tonight. Now, get changed. We're going to the eye doctor. "

Picture Framed At Dr. Chen's office, Poppy sat on the exam table lost in thought. What if the stain didn't come out of her dress? She was worried. “ Why don't you pick out a pair of glasses?" Dr. Chen said. Poppy looked up. Glasses! Poppy hung her head. She didn't want glasses.
