FIONA
Mom said we could order pizza tonight! I’m going to get pepperoni!
MARCIA
She told me you could have pizza if you finish all your homework before she comes home. So, did you finish your homework?
FIONA
Most of it.
MARCIA
What do you have left? Maybe I can help.
FIONA
I have to finish my edits on my essay… but I need to be at home to do it! I need a computer.
MARCIA
That’s very fancy. Should we go through the copy you have to make sure there aren’t any additional edits? That way you only have to worry about typing it up. I think I can convince your mom that’s close enough to being done.
FIONA
You want to read my essay?
MARCIA
That’s the best way to make edits.
FIONA
Okay, but it’s my first draft! So it might not be very good.
MARCIA
Thank you for the warning. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.
FIONA
I had to write about eating healthy. So I talked about how dad always says “everything in moderation.” And that’s a good way to look at food because then you don’t have to feel guilty about eating pizza or ice cream, but you also have to make sure to finish your vegetables and eat a salad every once in a while.
MARCIA
That’s a good way to think about it. But I prefer to only have half a salad that way I have more room for pizza.
FIONA
That’s funny, grandma. Who shares a salad?
MARCIA
Well, don’t tell her I told you, but when your mom was little the only way I could get her to eat salads was if I ate half of it. I guess I just got used to it.
FIONA
Mom always says I only get dessert if I eat my whole salad by myself.
MARCIA
That’s because she knows you are a much better kid than she was.
FIONA
She does say that.
MARCIA
That’s because it’s true.
