Question 1

Spencer and I started whooping
and jumping around and hugging
Mom.
"Ruthie, Spencer," Mom called to us one evening, "come in
here." I thought we had done something wrong, but when
we got to the kitchen, Mom's eyes were sparkling. "Dad's
coming home!" she announced. "He'll be here late tomorrow
night!" Spencer and I started whooping and jumping around
and hugging Mom. Dad was in the army, and we hadn't
seen him since Thanksgiving. It was almost summer.
