Selena jogged all the way into the kindergarten where the teacher and Juniper were playing with building blocks while waiting for her. “I’m sorry, Miss Monroe! I’m really sorry.” She started apologizing the moment she stepped into the room.
The teacher, on the other hand, seemed used to such a thing. “It’s okay, Miss Yard.”
“I’m really sorry to have troubled you. I promise there won’t be a next time.”
Juniper put away her things before walking over to Selena. “Mommy, I’ll just go to the washroom for a while, okay?” As she said that, she all but skipped away.
“Miss Yard, we’ll be having Family Day at the end of the month. This is the kindergarten’s monthly activity, so the school attaches great importance to it every time. It’ll be Juniper’s first time attending, so I hope you can make time for it.”
“Family Day? What’s Family Day?”
“Parents nowadays are always busy with work that they’ve got no time to accompany their children. Thus, we set up Family Day in hopes that parents will put everything aside to join and accompany their children. On that day, there’ll be competitions in which parents can participate together. Also, there’s a mystery prize! Juniper is really looking forward to it.”
However, the smile on Selena’s face froze. Juniper doesn’t have a daddy. She’ll surely be saddened to see other children attending with both their parents. Besides, other children will also know that she doesn’t have a daddy at that time. Will they ridicule her? She couldn’t help thinking about all this.
“Remember to come, Miss Yard. Put aside all your work and accompany Juniper for a day.”
