“Wake up Mia it’s the last day of holiday’s.”
“Come on you have to be kidding me. I feel like the holidays have for 2 minutes.”
“Yea, Yea whatever come and get some breakfast and we need to go and buy your new school uniform.”
“What a school Uniform?”
“Mia it’s your first day at your new school, Oh gosh you need to look in the mirror.”
“Ahhhh! My hair! I must have took the wrong shampoo. It’s crunchy, knotty, it looks like a birds nest!
Mum we need to go to the hairdresser I don’t care if I have to miss the first day of school!”
“But Mia… alright we can go to the hairdresser.”
“Thank you so much Mum. I literally don’t know why we had to get the new shampoo but at least now we know not to anymore!”
“Don’t worry about it we will just have to be late for school.”
“Finally we’re here. Gosh, there’s a long line. Now what are we supposed to do?”
“There’s a hairdresser down the road.”
“Oh good, let’s go.”
“Yes, there’s no line.”
“Come on lets go it’s just this isn’t a very good hairdresser.”
“Pardon, never mind, oh look you’re next.”
