Scene 2: Tammy Wants a Play Date
A few minutes later, Karen hopped down from the school bus in front of her house. After stopping to pet Pegasus, she ran inside.
“Mama! Guess what Tammy and I were talking about on the ride home today!”
Mama hugged her and replied, “I don’t know, my Krana Layala. You’re going to have to tell me.”
“Tammy wants to visit me after school! And I can invite Kimberly from across the street. Tammy’s dying to meet kids that aren’t disabled. Her sister’s the only one she knows. And Kimberly’s not disabled, but she wants to meet more disabled kids than just me. Is that okay, Mama? Please?”
“Sure, honey!” Mama answered with a big smile. “When would you like them to come?”
“Maybe next week, if that’s all right with you?”
“That’s fine, Kitten. Just make sure Pegasus is at the ranch when your friends come to visit. I’m sure they would enjoy him, but maybe we can save that for another time. He’s still a little bit of a secret, especially his talking. Understand?”
“Yes, Mama, I sure do!”
