All it took was a few seconds
Reba was looking after Elizabeth but she had such a headache. Elizabeth was such a sweet child but she loved to talk, and she always wanted to play Barbie's with Reba. On a good day Reba would play with her for hours but today she just couldn't bare it. She was laying on the couch with Elizabeth sitting on the floor beside her talking away to her. Reba felt horrible not playing with her but this headache came on suddenly, and it really made her feel sick. She heard knocking at the door, and Reba wanted to ignore it but she finally got up going to the door, and opening it. The last person she needed to see at this moment was Barbara Jean her voice would make her headache worse for sure.
"Barbara Jean I really am not in the mood to talk so can you come back another time when I am feeling better"?
"I thought the two of us could go to the park with the kids. Henry wants Elizabeth to go to the park with him"
"I have a headache so no we can not go with you". Elizabeth heard the word park and she ran over saying she wanted to go. Henry was saying please, and Reba wanted to cry when Barbara Jean said she would take them both while she rested at home.
"No I am suppose to babysit so I don't feel right letting her go without me"
"Don't be silly I will take her we will be back in a hour. You rest it is two so the others will not be home for awhile." Reba finally gave in and got Elizabeth's jacket, and told her to hold Barbara Jean's hand. She just wanted to go but she hugged her Grandma and left with Barbara Jean and Henry. Reba walked over to the couch she laid down, and shut her eyes, and fell asleep right away.
It was after 3 when Van and Cheyenne came home and were surprised Reba was asleep and they couldn't see Elizabeth. Van said she must be upstairs talking a nap so he ran upstairs to check. He came down, and said she was not in her room. They ran to the kitchen and than they started to panic. Van ran over waking up Reba and she was startled because they both were asking where Elizabeth was.
"She is at the park with Barbara Jean and Henry. What time is it?"
Van said it was 3:20, and Reba said they should be back soon. Cheyenne was a little upset not that Barbara Jean had her but because she had a play date this afternoon with a child of a friend of theirs . She would be all full of sand and need a bath now. Cheyenne and Van said they were going over to the park to get her and bring her back so they could get ready for the play date. They left and Reba felt bad because Cheyenne did tell her about the play date and she should have remembered and kept her home.
I don't blame Van and Cheyenne for being upset.
