“So how's James" Nana asked.

 “Very good" I say.

 “Any girls" she wounded. I start to think with mischievous look in my eye. “Ummm yes" I say.

 She looks shocked should I have lied to an 86 year old or not? Well there's no going back now. Here goes nothing. 

“They even have kids” 3 i fact. I admitted. But before I could say anything mum snapped at me 

get to the car Maia NOW! No you can't make me. 

You wanna bet says mum

 no I reply. I go to the car. Anna comes. I give her a message to say to mum. Guess what the answer was NO. I wonder if I can get away with sneaking in like a spy. I try it I go a little further. Then I here Anna say

“ please welcome Maia" 

“No" says Mum angrily. 

So I wait and wait in the car. Then I can here a little sound a little squeak and Mum and Nelson Come. The car was silent. Man I'm young to be dead when everyone goes.
