“Who’s coming along for the adventure?” I said. Anyway, I was THRILLED IN PIECES and when Dad strapped me in with the seat belt I didn’t tell him that I could do it myself since FOREVER because I was too busy spinning around in my brain thinking about where we could be going and what exactly an adventure was and how come we were taking one JUST LIKE THAT on an ordinary and regular Saturday morning with no special plans marked with a red pen in the family calendar of ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDENS that stays in place on the refrigerator with three magnets that look like cookies but taste like plastic so don’t even try them.ĭad climbed in front and set a duffel bag on the seat next to him. That’s also the birthday of that boy Deacon in my class with the extra-big ears, but he still gets a party every year. That’s only two days of the whole entire year which has 365 days in it usually but 366 days when it’s a LEAP YEAR that jumps ahead but only every four years on the 29th of February. I was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT excited because an adventure was an enormous and unexpected surprise and usually those are only for birthdays or Christmas morning.
