Sonia looked at the woman with a puzzled look as she appeared next to her mother.
The girl looked to her from head to toes, analyzing her. When did she come from? The dark ages?
Sonia couldn't believe that her mom was serious. She didn't need a babysitter at her age.
In hearing Ms. Dobson speak, Sonia shrugged and replied "Yeah, yeah, that's me. I'm Sonia, nice to meet you."
It wouldn't even been such a bad introduction, if she had cared to raise her face from the elbow and to use a less bored tone.
And then she also added "The door is behind you. Goodbye."
With those words, she turned her head in the opposite direction.
