My house going into a sink wasn't the worst part of my day 

 “How could this day get any worse?” Asked Carl’s Mom.

  “If you can imagine our house falling into a sinkhole and me breaking my leg wasn't the worst part of my.” Replied Carl. 

 “Really, how” His mom asked. 

 “Because when I woke up this morning I didn't have any milk for the cereal.”

 “Oh you can't be serious you broke your leg our house fell into a sinkhole and your dad left us today and the worst part of your day was not having any milk?” screamed Carl’s mom.

Carl looked frightened but was also laughing at the same time. After his mom left to go get food he started talking to the doctor. 

“Were you being serious about the worst part of your day was not having any milk for your cereal.” Asked the doctor. 

“Yea it was because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I know it was only cereal but I still haven't gotten anything to eat today.” Carl explained. 

“Well we have some Frosted flakes honey nut cheerios and 2% milk or whole milk.” said the doctor.

“Could I please have some Frosted flakes with 2% milk.” asked carl. 

 

After the doctor came back with cereal for carl, his mom was there and she had fallen asleep. After carl had finished his cereal the doctor gave him some pain meds and he also fell asleep for a little bit. When he woke up, his mother was also up and she was talking to his best friends moms and he looked over to his right and his best friend Joe was sitting there with a card in his hand. Joe got up and give him the card and then he had to home. Carl opened the card and it was a get well soon card. He showed his mom and she said “That was nice of them wasen’t it Carl.”

“Yea it was really nice of them mom.” sighed carl.

 “Why you  sad Carl.” asked mom. 

“Because my best friend came to visit me but my dad didn’t.” carl sighed again.

 Later when carl fell asleep the doctor came in and woke him up because he was getting released from the hospital the next morning. When he woke up in the morning he was super excited to go home. But he forgot that his house was no longer there so than he asked his mom “Where are we gonna stay mom” 

“Joe’s mom said we could stay there while I try to figure something out” She replied.

 “Sweet” said carl 

 So when they got joe’s house Carl went and knocked on the door and joe answered the door

“Mom they’re here” joe yelled.

Joe’s mom came to the door and said, “Nice to see you guys and how are you feeling Carl.” 

 “ Pretty good, other than not having a house and having a cast on and my dad leaving us, my last couple of days have been great! Thanks for asking,” Carl replied. 

“Carl be nice she offered to let us stay in her house while we fix ours.” Carls mom fersouly replied. 

“Its ok I know he's still  upset about everything i would be too.”said carl's mom

After that they all went inside and ate some dinner. Joe and carl had to share a room, Joe let carl have the bed and he slept on the floor.

The next morning carl woke up and made joe got up too, they went to go get breakfast downstairs and joe had to make all the food. 

When do you get all the cast and other stuff off? Asked joe.

I think in like a month, maybe 6 weeks. Replied Carl. 

Than their parents walked down and they were surprised that they were up so early. Carl didn't have any clothes so him and his mom went to the store and got a couple pairs of clothes and some shoes. 


The next day calr and joe had to go to school. They both took the bus and everybody had made a get well soon card for carl and when he got to school he got to stay in one room the whole time because he was on crutches. ALl his teachers had a student bring him his work. 


After school carl and joe went home had some food and then carl and his mom went back to the hospital and they checked on all his breaks he had to keep his leg cast but he got a shorter arm cast that only goes up his forearm instead of it going up to his elbow.


After they got back home from the store carl did homework. He only had homework from math and spanish but the math had 25 questions. So after homework it was time for dinner and then he went to sleep.


When woke up in the morning his dad was there. Carl was shocked and mad because his dad didn't come home for a couple of days. 

“Hey son.” Carl's dad said happy to see him.

“Hi dad.” Carl siad madly.

“Aren't you happy to see me?” his dad replied.

“No dad you left when we needed you most and you didn't even get the milk.” 

“Yes I did said carl's dad its right here, i also got chocolate milk for you too.” His dad said hapiley.

“Nvm dad im not mad at thanks for getting the milk and you should go see mom.” carl explained.

And then carl woke up from his dream. 

“Awww mann.” he shouted.

THen he went downstairs to get a drink and there his dad was talking to him mom and he couldn’t believe it and so he started to pinch himself and said “no way no way i'm not falling for this again” his mom and dad looked confused and he ran into the wall and gave himself a concussion and broke his nose.


Later that day he woke in the hospital with his mom and dad right by his side and he was like “wait was that not a dream?”

“No sadly it wasn't a dream.” hi mom replied. 

And then he woke up at his house and looked at his arm and leg and didn't have a cast on either of them and realized all of it was a dream the whole time.


That monday when he went back to school and  when he got home he realized that it wasn't a dream it was deja vu at least his house falling into a sinkhole was.
