When Jamie got home from school one day, she set her backpack on the floor next to the umbrella holder. "Hey mom, I'm going to go to Amile's house for a while. I'll be back in time to finish my homework, eat dinner, and take a shower." Jamie called. "Okay honey." Her mom answered back from her office. "okay mom, I'll see you." Jamie said as she hopped out the door. A few minutes after Jamie left, her mom, (Also known as Michelle) walked down stairs. She picked up Jamies backpack and set it on the kitchen counter. She unzipped Jamie's backpack and pulled out her binders and notepad. "My Sketching Pad" It was labeled. "Ooohh, this looks interesting." Michelle stated. "Oh no no no Michelle, you shouldn't snoop! She argued with herself. "Oh..but it's so much fun Michelle! I'll just take a peek..." Jamie's mom opened the notebook just the tiniest of a smidge, and snapped it shut. "You really should not invade your daughters own personal belongings!" Michelle scolded herself. "Well...I did buy it, so...guess that means i get to open it." Michelle answered to herself with pride. "Fine...you win." She surrendered to herself. "So finally, now that Michelle had agreed with herself that she got to open the oh-so-interesting-notepad, she opened a sliver, then a crack, and sooner or later she was examineing every single page. Until, she saws what looked like a revenge plan. "What's this now?" her mom questioned. "Now this is why you shouldn't snoop!" Michelle's little voice inside her started up again. "Fine you were right all along." Michelle admitted to herself. Michelle then closed the book and carefully set it on the table with the rest of her school supplies.
When Jamie got home, her mom rushed immediately down stairs with a I-know-you've-done-somthing-wrong face. "Uhh, is there something wrong mother? Jamie asked clueless of the subject. "Oh...I'm fine, it's just that you were trying to bully someone at school!" Jamie's mom scolded her. What, what are you talking about?" Jamie's mother snatched the notebook of the table, turned to the page of the revenge plan and shoved it in her arms. "What?!?! You were looking through my journal!? How could you do that?!? You're a mother not a spy!! Jamie shouted. "Well, I was just curious..." Michelle answered unsatisfied. "Well since you're so curious, then I guess i should just tell you the truth.." Jamie looked down at the sketched plan. "Well the truth is, I wasn't really bullying, I was just trying to get a bully back." Jamie confessed. "So that's why you had chocolate milk in your hair. Well anyway, honey you should have told either me or the princable sooner about this." Jamie's mom said. "I know, I was just so caught up in trying to get the bully back that I kind of forgot that a real payback would have been getting her in big troble with princable Hickman." Jamie answered. "Well I'm glad you told me sooner or later. But honey I want you to tell that princable all about her behaviors towards you and all the other students tomorrow, okay?" Jamie's mom asked. "Of course mom!" Jamie answered.
Next when Jamie was finished with all her regular duties, she went to sleep like any other day.
