When Nanaw took Chase to school Friday morning, as she said good-bye to him, she told him they would have an adventure after school. His teacher heard Nanaw say that and she said, "An adventure! That sounds like fun." And Chase and Nanaw did have an adventure after school. Unfortunately, the bug was in a grumpy mood and said he didn't want to do any of the things Nanaw had planned. But Nanaw said they were doing everything. First, they went to Dollar Tree and bought several toys for Chase: a football, a squeezable plastic lemon, and a pop gun. Next, they went to the bank, where Chase got his usual green sucker -- everybody there knows Chase and always has his sucker ready for him. On the way to the cemetery, their next stop, Chase fell asleep, which made Nanaw very happy because it meant he would be in a better mood when he woke up. Next, Nanaw got gas, then they went to the Telegraph Road library, where Nanaw had to make copies of the instructions for recording the Sunday church talk and pick up books for Mama. Chase got some of his fruit strips out of the "bending machine." Nanaw got a call from Mama in the evening, looking for a lost Tee Tee. Nanaw found him by the laptop and took him over to Chase.
