Pass the Milk 1 Sonia stared at the dry cereal in her bowl. The milk carton was sitting across the table in front of Sonia’s little brother, Trenton. Sonia was calmly waiting for Trenton to stop talking so she could ask him to pass the milk. 2 “I hope I have enough pencils,” Trenton said.“Maybe they should all be sharpened before we leave.” It was Trenton’s first day of school. He was starting kindergarten, and he was very excited as well as a little nervous. 3 Sonia sighed. She knew it was rude to interrupt, but what if Trenton never stopped talking? A growl came from Sonia’s stomach, and the third grader decided not to wait anymore. Sonia knew what to expect at school. She couldn’t understand what all the excitement was about. All she wanted to do was eat her cereal, but she needed the milk. 4 “Trenton—” said Sonia. 5 “I think Jorge is in Ms. Rick’s class too,” Trenton said. He had not even heard his sister call his name. He was too busy talking to his father about what might happen on his first day of school. 6 “Trenton—” said Sonia a little louder. ~~ ~~ 6 ~~ ~~ 7 “I wonder if I’ll be able to find the lunchroom. Dad, do you think that I will be able to find my way around? What if I am late for lunch?” 8 “Trenton, you will be fine!” said Dad. 9 “Trenton!” Sonia said loudly. 10 Trenton stopped talking. Dad looked up from his cup of coffee and raised his eyebrows. 11 “I’m sorry, but I’ve been trying to ask Trenton to pass the milk,” Sonia said.“He’s been talking nonstop for an hour. What is the big deal about Trenton starting kindergarten?” 12 “I have not been talking for an hour,” Trenton said. 13 “You have too,” Sonia said. 14 “Have not,” Trenton said. 15 “That’s enough,” Dad said to Trenton. 16 Sonia grinned at her brother.
