Tetleys classroom and we were reviewing math homework. And actually i did pretty well. For like the first time ever. Ms.Tetley was my fourth and fifth grade teacher. It sounds crazy but it’s true. It was time to go home and like always I had homework and today was a friday . So my Mom picked me up. Like everyday and I came home and started working on it .And my stomach started hurting pretty bad. I told my Mom and she thought that I was just trying to get out of doing my homework. So I kept bothering her until BAM! she believed me after ten thousand tries. We went to my Mom's friends house her name was Julie. And they just got over the flu.
