Mama had the day off from work on Friday so she took Chase to school. Nanaw got a text from Cole's mom asking if she could give Cole a ride home from school. Nanaw said yes, of course, and that Chase would like that. And he did! Chase and Cole sat together in the back seat of Nanaw's car and played on their phones, mostly asking Siri to do weird things. Nanaw had come up with a plan for after school with Chase. They would sit together in the living room to watch the rest of the Roll of Thunder movie, and Nanaw would put together a snack for Chase consisting of chocolate milk, strawberries and blueberries. After he ate that, he would get a few Girl Scout cookies and a few Tootsie Rolls. But Chase reminded Nanaw that one of his Lent things was not to eat candy after school. The other one was to eat fruit each day, so the strawberries and blueberries took care of that. Chase was in a grumpy mood and didn't want to come in the living room or sit with Nanaw to watch the end of the Roll of Thunder movie. But then, amazingly, he seemed to change his mind and be in a better mood. He unplugged the keyboard from the computer lab and brought it into the living room. Nanaw plugged it in for him, and he began to play all kinds of music on it, having a wonderful time. That made Nanaw so happy. When Nanaw took Chase home, Mama wasn't there. She had gone to a happy hour with some of the moms from Chase's hockey team. Chase had a baseball hitting session at 5:30.
