It was finally Thursday, and Mackie was very nervous during breakfast.
She kept glancing at Uncle Vernon, hoping that Uncle hadn't forgotten about his promise to attend the teacher-parent meeting because she was expecting her Uncle to come.
She was so happy about having a father come and watch her performance that she couldn't sleep for the whole night.
Mackie glanced at her Uncle again and then at her Mommy, who was eating beside her. She wanted to remind her Uncle about the teacher-parent meeting, but Mommy was still with them.
Mommy would scold her if she knew Mackie didn't tell her about the teacher-parent meeting.
Mackie also knew that Mommy would stop Uncle from coming because she thought that would disturb Uncle's long and busy days at his office.
