It was inspired by a story my mom told me about when she was little. Things are a lot different from when she when to school, even from when I went to school, but kids will always be kids, and moms will always be moms!!
I’m gonna do it. And I’m not afraid. I’m a big boy now and I
don’t need my mommy to walk me to school. I’m gonna walk to school on my own.
She even said I could.
Here I go. I’m walking down the driveway and past the fence.
No problem so far.
Now, down the street and past the house with the big scary
tree. If I go a little faster, the spooky things that live in the tree won’t
catch me.
Now I have to pass the house with the mean dog. I hope he’s
not out in the yard. I don’t like it when he barks at me.
Oh no, I see him on the step. It looks like he’s sleeping.
I’ll just be very quiet while I pass by, quiet and fast.
Made it.
Now around the corner and cross the street, I first press
the button and wait for the light to turn red for the cars, then I look both
ways. I’m across.
I can see the school yard, I’m almost there. Just a few more
steps and I’ve made it.
I knew I could do it. I’m a big boy.

Beep beep beep…
“Hello Joan, it’s Mary.
Billy insisted he’s big enough to walk to school.
He just left the house, walking down the laneway now, can
you take a look outside to make sure he’s ok as he passes your house?
He is? Great, thanks very much.
I’ll call June, chat later.
“Hello June, it’s Mary.
Is Bowser outside this morning? On the step?
Ok, well, can you please take a look outside and let me know
if Billy is…
He’s passing by now? Thanks so much. See you later.
“Hello Jill, it’s Mary.
Billy’s walking to school on his own this morning, would you
mind taking a peak outside to see if he’s ok crossing the street? Thanks so much.
You see him? He’s looking both ways? Oh that’s great.
He’s safely across and has reached the school yard?
Thanks for checking Mary, see you at Bridge tonight.
Hope you enjoyed.
Cheers and good night.
:)
