"Layla, I thought that Ms. Kennedy teaches languages? Why is she helping you with math Som Avery walked into the dining room with the assignment. "I'm in elementary school, Mommy. It's not that difficult for adults like you guys to helpwith Math, right?" "Oh. That's true." Avery flipped through her assignments. "Ms. Kennedy has been quite attentive with the remarks she left for you." "I think Ms. Kennedy likes Uncle George." Avery stared enquiringly at her daughter.
"I saw her peeping at him. Mommy, that's what people do when they like someone, right?" "Does George know about it?" "He says he doesn't like Ms.
