Have you had a close call where you thought you were busted but ended up being just fine? What happened?ħ. Do you think the “thank you for the oatmeal” note Nikki’s mom leaves is sincere, or is she trying to let Nikki know that she is on to her deception but forgives her?

When Nikki’s mom tells her she’s getting a back-to-school present that will help her “communicate her thoughts and feelings,” she is so excited because she thinks it will be a new cell phone.

If no, how do you think you would act the first few days?Ģ. Nikki is starting at a new private school.
