Last night me and bros gathered around the TV and watched our rented School of Rock movie (again). We rented this movie so many times the guy at the video store looks up at Annie (my aunt) and says "Picked the usual?" Annie replies with a sigh "Picked the usual..." Because we've seen it so many times we know all the lines, all the movements, and we're even beginning to memorize the handshake. So we laugh before anything funny happens so we know its going to happen. Annie let us stay up late even though Theo and Jesse James have school today. She's cool like that. Well, after the movie we all went to our rooms. Mark and I share a room and I get the bottom bunk. Well, I was reading Fruits bsket when I felt tried and soon fell asleep but then the unmistakable smell of insense filled the room. Of course, their she was...Mom. I wasn't the only one who reconized the smell, James and Theo were already hugging Dad and Mark was leaning against the wall trying to be cool when he really was happy to see Mom. I hugged my mom and the first thing I said was "How was Africa?" James and Mark cracked up. They were laughing in my face and Mom was looking confused. Theo and I just stood there shocked. We thought Mom was in Africa...She was really following Neil Young in Tenessee while trying to get glimpses athis new moviw based on the new album. She drove back and because of Hurricane Katrina she had to come back ASAP. Truly, I'm just glad to have Mom home now even if my brothers are lying *mumbles*...
