"Houston's First Crush"

"Houston's First Crush"

     Houston was in first grade. He was doing really well in school and his mom was very proud of him. His teacher would send his school work home for his mom to look at, all bound together with a paper clip. Every afternoon his mom would look at the papers, beaming with pride at how well he was doing! She even received a letter from the principal about what a good student he was!
     Every morning, Houston's mom made his lunch for him, usually peanut butter and jelly, some apple wedges, chips and a cookie, packed into a cute blue lunch box for him.
     One afternoon, Houston's mom went to pick him up from school and he was on the playground. He was swinging on a swing and talking to a girl with a pink ribbon in her hair who was on the swing next to him. When his mom told him it was time to go, he pouted. He didn't want to go. He wanted to stay and continue talking to the girl. Aww...how sweet! Houston had his first crush!
