This was a day that I’d looked forward to for weeks; Miss Pace’s fourth-grade, end-of-the-year party. I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace requested cookie volunteers.

By the time it was over and I had a chance to check my messages, I realized that I had missed the party,” she explained, with a tired face. In fact, she had already prepared the ingredients for the cookies the night before. But she had no time to bake them.
