This morning, I was checking my homework while I was eating my breakfast. Then I walked to the bus stop. While I was waiting for the bus, I suddenly remembered my homework. It was at home in the kitchen! As I was deciding what to do, the bus arrived. As I was getting on the bus, I got a text message from my mum: 'I found your homework as I was cleaning the kitchen. Wait at the bus stop.' It was too late, I was on the bus.
As I was thinking about what to do, I saw my mum's car behind the bus. She drove in her pyjamas and I was very embarrassed.
At the next bus stop, she stopped her car in front of the bus, got out and got on the bus.
It was terrible! She was walking towards me in her pyjamas so I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I knew it wasn't a nightmare or even a dream. My mother was standing on the bus, in her pyjamas and holding my homework!
