you to miss your carpool, that in turn caused you to get to school late,
that ultimately caused you to miss getting one of the decent parts in
the upcoming Thanksgiving play?

first meet her. Things only go downhill from there and no one at home
seems to have much time for her. Except Roger-Over, her beloved dog.
