The Worst Part

Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn't stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad's number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. "You promised to phone me this week but you didn't，" I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

"Take it easy, kid，" he said. "I just didn't get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn't over yet."

I thought about that.

"Something on your mind？" he asked.

"I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited."Then I was sorry I said it.
