Early in the morning, after Shiling's Mom woke up, she unexpectedly found her daughter had also gotten up very early and was brushing her teeth and washing her face herself.
"Good morning, mom!"
"Ah, good morning."
Shiling's mom watched as her daughter finished washing up and then retreated to her room in sprightly step to feed their sleeping pet, Custard Pie. She found herself somewhat puzzled. Why was her daughter in such a good mood this morning?
She checked her calendar on her phone. It was neither the weekend nor any special occasion. Hadn't her Uncle Baldy, Chicken Wing sister or Beautiful sister said anything about coming to Star City?
Was there a new animated movie premiering? No, her daughter hadn't really shown interest in animated movies lately. Her recent interests were drawing, reading science books, and learning to read.
Had her teacher praised her yesterday? No, if that was the case, she would have been gloating about it on the way home from kindergarten.
