My mom always brought me a surprise when she came home. Like a phone or a computer something like that. But this year was a whole lot different, my mom got me a lama, can you believe it? A lama! It's not that I hate it I love animals, but next to everything else she got me this was well a huge surprise. I stared at her in a way that I was surprised a lot. She said that she knew the look on my face, and wasn't happy with it. I told her that I would come home after school everyday and and play with it. She agreed with the plan and was happy again. So I had to come up with a name for it, wait a sec. hold the flashback I forgot to tell you my name I'm sorry about that, my name is Bridget. Phew, Ok now we can go back to the flashback. I was thinking it seemed like forever to find a good name for a lama, But then it hit me like a thunderbolt Lisa the lama! It was a perfect for a lama. After thinking of the name I was trying to think of the positive things of having a lama. Well I wouldn't have to go in a car anymore, and it wouldn't be hard to find food in the summer. Well that was good enough for me. But there was still one problem, what would my friends say about having a pet lama? So I thought about it and well this is what I came up with, what if I could have my grandma take care of it well my friends are over? Plus my grandma has taken care of lamas before and she lives really close to my house. So I went on my lama and went straight to grandma's house, came home right before my best friend Abby came. Well actually she came home before me with my mom next to her. I knew I was going to be in big trouble after Abby went back home. Well I guess I should make it well it lasts. So we talked the whole entire time. Now all thats left was the trouble time, my mom went on and on and on about why I left the lama at grandma's house. I kept telling her that my friends would make fun of me, but to her that was not very a good excuse. so I was grounded for 10 weeks, no phone, no friends, no books and no sleeping in. How much worse could this get?
