Anna jumps out of her seat and
dances around the table. “We’re going
on vacation! We’re going on vacation!”
“Thank you!” says Daisy to my mum,
hugging her.
“Thanks, Mummy,” I say from my seat.
Sometimes
I think Mum loves Daisy as much as us.
Sometimes maybe more than me.
I’m angry Mum didn’t ask me
if I wanted Daisy to come on vacation.
I would have said yes
but I didn’t get a chance to decide.
Mum, Anna, and Daisy
go shopping
for swimsuits.
I decide to stay home.
“Just get me black trunks,
no Speedos,” I say.
While they’re gone
I Google “Speedos”
and the first page
of results brings up
pictures of Tom Daley.
I’m still looking at them
when Mum, Anna, and
Daisy return.
Mum hands me a shopping bag.
“Thanks, Mummy,” I say.
