I don’t want to go to school today

I don’t want to go to school today.
I don’t want to go to work, either, but I have to. And Big Mochi has to go to school and Daddy is at work so you have to go.
I want to stay home.
No one will be home to watch you.
I can stay home by myself.
Who will feed you?
(Runs out of the doorway – to pout, I think)

(Comes back with 2 containers: 1 filled with Milano cookies and 1 filled with Froot by the Yard fruit rollups, and a Capri Sun falls out of her arms)
What if you need help with something?
(Runs away and comes back with a stool)
I’m sorry, you still can’t stay home alone. You have to go to school today.
Hmph.
