ALEXANDER Weekends at Dad's: Do what we want (videogames all night ) Eat and drink what we want (chips and soda for lunch ) Adventures (camping ) Once upon a time with Lucy (our stepmother): Turn off the game. Eat regular food. Let's go camping All awesome. Except now Lucy's gone. JACOB Lucy's gone now and that means we have to stay alone at Dad's for the first time ever-if Mom finds out she will be so so so mad because nine-year-olds aren't supposed to stay alone she says-and it's the 4th of July, which is my least favorite holiday of all time. But it's kind of fun for a while and then not fun at all. And then we can't get in touch with anyone. Except Lucy.
