Carson invited me to her skating party tomorrow night! It's going to be so fun!"

Mom frowned. “I know you really want to go to that party, but tomorrow night is Grandpa's 80th birthday. You know that. We've been planning the party for months. Claire's face fell. “Oh no. I forgot," she moaned. "But can't I go to the skating party? Grandpa will hardly even notice I'm not there." “Absolutely not," replied Mom. “He most certainly will notice. You are his only grandchild and family comes first. Always." Claire knew by the tone of her mother's voice that there was no arguing. She was so mad and so disappointed. She had been excited about her grandfather's party. Now she didn't even want to go. On the night of the party, Claire spent most of her time sulking, wishing she were skating with her friends. Then Grandpa called her over to his chair. “Claire-Bear," he said, “it means the world to me that you are here to celebrate my birthday. You are so very precious to me." Claire's resentment disappeared. Mom was right. Skating would have been fun, but this was more important.

Mr. Jones decided to take his family camping. It was a beautiful weekend and the family was excited about the trip. So he packed up the car and away they went. At first they had trouble finding an empty campsite. Most of the other campers had made reservations ahead of time. When they finally found one, Dad asked the kids, Tim and Katie, to pitch the tent. It wasn't long before Tim reported that he could not find the tent stakes. Sure enough, they were nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, mom was trying to light the portable stove, but Dad had forgotten the matches. Not only that, they did not have a can opener to open the can of spaghetti sauce they had brought for dinner or a pot big enough to cook the noodles. Then Katie discovered that they had forgotten to bring the sleeping bags! It soon became clear that camping was not going to happen. Grumpily, Dad packed everything back into the car and they drove back to the city. They picked up a pizza on the way home and everyone slept in their own beds that night.
