Her coffee cup sliped right out of her hand and smashed into a thousand pices on the kitchen floor. Without even looking down she placed her hands to her face and broke down in tears, "What is wrong with me?" She thought, " How could I have let it come to this? What am I suppose to do now?" Then she heard the kids run down the staris. She quickly straighten up, wiped away the tears and began to clean up the boken cup on the floor. The kids all rushed into the kitchen all at once saying, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! When is Daddy coming back from his business trip?" "Whoa hold up" she said, "You haven't given Mommy a chance to drink her coffee. Now go to the living room and wait while Mommy makes you breakfast okay? I love you all." The kids all looked at each other and ran into the living room not saying another word. "Those kids," she said as she went to get another coffee cup out of the cabinet, "How am I going to tell them the truth?"
