Mikey spent all morning thinking about the stone. He had always been a thoughtful if sometimes absent minded kid, and was really pretty well behaved. At eight years old, Mikey had already developed an inquisitive mind and his parents thought he would be a scientist one day. But right now Mikey was considering what to do with his new stone. At lunch, Mikey finally decided he wanted to go home to play with his stone. "I wish that Ms. Warren would think that I already knew all of the stuff we would do in class this afternoon so she would drive me home now!"
Mikey blinked and then looked up as he heard Ms. Warren say, "Mikey, are you ready to leave?"
Mikey grinned and followed his teacher out to her car. He could hardly wait for her to get him home so he could play.
