"Dinner's ready." Patricia yelled from the dining room.
Debby looked at Ariel knowingly, Ariel was helpless but knew her sister had given her the best idea she could at the moment.
"Come on now Ariel, you know how Mom gets when we're late for dinner." Debby advised.
"Sure." Ariel said resignedly.
The two girls went to the dining room and sat at the table, they paid their respects to their father who was already seated, Patricia had rushed out the meal and sat with them, Ariel began to chew on her food nervously, she was thinking of how to tell her mother of her outing without lie and also at the same time not telling her it was with a boy.
"Mom, I have something to ask of you." Ariel said nervously.
"Go on, chew on your food and talk at the same time do you'll show us how mannerless you are." Patricia said flatly.
Ariel felt ashamed and instantly swallowed her meal, emptying her mouth.
"I'm sorry." Ariel apologized.
