"Two eggs, two cups of mix, and one cup of milk," Bailey thought as she began collecting the ingredients. She planned the whole day and wanted it to be the best Mother's Day ever.
Suddenly, Colton, her little brother, bumped into her by accident. All the eggs dropped and broke. Colton felt sad, so Bailey gave him a hug. "It's okay," she said. "It was an accident."
Just then, Bailey's mum came into the kitchen. "What happened?" she asked. "I was going to make you a pancake, but all of the eggs cracked," replied Bailey. "However, I made you something else!"
Bailey ran to the bedroom, where she kept her backpack. In class, Mrs Thorton had given the students time to make special Mother's Day cards. Bailey's card was perfect. She opened her bag but couldn't find it. "Never mind," Bailey whispered. "I left my gift for you at school."
"That's okay," Mum said. "We still have a whole day of fun together." That made Bailey think of her next surprise, and she ran to the closet(储藏室) where the family beach bag was hidden. She packed it with towels, sunscreen, water bottles, and snacks. "I think we should go to the beach. I have everything ready!" suggested Bailey.
" ▲ " smiled her mum, and they began to prepare. When they were all ready, Bailey and her mum began taking the big beach bag to the front door. Colton opened the door just in time for the whole family to see a giant bolt of lightning(闪电) crash across the sky. Bailey cried, "I wanted your day to be perfect, but everything is ruined(破坏)!"
"Do you want to know what is a perfect day for me?" asked her mum. "Any day spent with my two favourite people." Bailey's smile grew larger across her face. "But what will we do today?" "Hmmm... I have an idea!" shouted Colton. "You two go hide, and I will count to ten!"
Mum and Bailey looked at each other for just a second. Then they both ran to different sides of the room. "One, two, three... " Colton covered his eyes and began counting.
