First bad day

The Johnson family has never had a bad day.They always have everything together. Nothing goes wrong in there lives. No one has been sick, failed a class, made a B in a class. The parents have never been layer off or fired. The children make A's in every class and never got in disciplinary trouble. Today though, will be different.

The Johnson family woke up this morning but something was different. Normally the grandmother gets up early in the morning and makes coffee. The aroma feels the whole house. She would call into each room and tell them to get ready for school and work. Their dog would come upstairs and nudge everyone out of bed. This morning, there was no coffee smell, no calling into the rooms, and no dog. The mother ran downstairs to see what was going on. She turned the corner into the kitchen and saw the grandmother laying down in the couch. She looked pale. The grandmother had on a rob with rollers in her head. She had tissue box and a trash can right beside her.

"Mama, what's wrong," the mother said to the grandma.
"I'm, I'm," the grandmother said hesitating. "I'm sick.

The mother looked at her in disbelief.

"What do you mean sick," the mother asked.
"I'm ill," the grandmother said. I feel weak. "I woke up thus morning puking everywhere in my room."

The Johnson family does not keep medicine around the house because no one gets sick. The mother didn't know what to do so she told the grandmother to put on some clothes and head to the hospital.

Normally, the mother takes the kids to school because the dad leaves early to go to work. Now that the mom had to take grandma to the hospital, the dad had to take the kids to school. The kids ran downstairs like they normally do just to see their father looking stunned. He was holding a note from someone in his hand.

"Kids, daddy has to take you to, to school today," he said astonishment.

"Why are you taking us to school dad," the kids asked. "Where is mom and grandma?"

The father didn't want to tell the kids that their grandmother is sick. He figured that they would not take the news well.

"Kids grandma is sick," he said.

"Sick, what is sick," they said. "We never get sick.

"I know but out of the blue, grandma did," the father said. "That means I have to take you to school so hurry up before we are all late."

They got in the car and rushed to school.The kids were running into the school house when the bell rung. Unfortunately, they were hving a lockout that day and the kids were sent to ISS. They were both sobbing down the hallway as they approached the room.

"You have to stay in here for the next two days," the principal said.

"There is no way we are going to make it through these two days," the daughter told the principal.

"Well maybe you will be on time next time," the principal responded.

They both held eachothers hand and walk into the dark room. Crying their eyes out, they sat down in to little desk right beside eachother. They tried to whisper but the ISS teacher told them to seperate and not talk. The kids were scared for their lives.

While the kids were in ISS for the first time, their father was speeding to work. He was coming down the street when all of a sudden he hears a clash right behind him. He didn't want to turn around to see it but he did anyway. Someone hit him from behind. It took the police an hour to get to the site to fix it. Finally they showed up and sent him on his way. The father was one hour late to work.

 He walked into his building and saw the boss waiting in his office. He looked angry. The father mustered up enough strength to walk into hiss office.

"Hello, boss I know you've been looking for me," the father said.
"Where have you been," the oss asked. An hour late for work, really?"

 The father sat down in the chair across from his boss.

"I know sir," the father said. "This is my first time being late. I proise it will not happen again."
"Ypu got that right," the boss replied.
"What do you mean," the father asked.
"Do you know what you missed today," the boss asked curiously.

The father got up and looked on the calender to see that he missed the biggest meeting of the year for the company. He was suppose to run the meeting and organize it.

"I totslly forgot, I'm so sorry," the father said.
"That is not enough," the boss replied. "You are fired. I can not believe you missed the meeting. We did not seal the deal. They thought the presentation and the set up was unorganized. Well you know why is was unorganized?"
Me," the father answered.
"Yeah, you," the boss said. I am angry. That was the biggest deal we had ever had right in the palm of our hands and because of you, it's gone. So that means you are gone. Pack your stuff up. I want you out of herre in 2 hours so hurry up.

The father looked stunned. He felt numb.

"Fired, what, how, I have never gotten fired before for anything," he said to himself.

Feeling lifeless, he went to get empty cardboard boxes and started to pack up his things. After he packed up his things, he glance around the office and broke down in tears. The father grabbed hos things and swiftly walked out of the office.

The father went home and saw his wife helping the grandmother in.

"What's going on here," he says as he is rushing towards them.
"Mama has the," the mother says.
"The what," the father asked.
"The flu" the mother said hesitantly.

The father looked at the grandmother and tears rolled down his face.
"Oh no," he said. "Mama, are you gonna be okay?"
"The doctor said yes," the grandmother said. "I just need to get rest and a lot of fluids in my body."
"Why are you home so early," the mother asked.
"I got laid off today," the father said hesitantly.

He started to tear up as they both walked into the house.

"I was late from dropping of the kids from school and missed the most important meeting of the year," the father said.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry for that babe," the mother said.

She went to pick up the phone and called the kids school.

"Hello, I am the mother of Jayden and Kayden Johnson," the mother said. "I just wanted to see if my kids are in class."
"Your kids are not in class ma'am," the secretary said. "They were late to their class when we had a lockout. They were sent to ISS for the day and they have OSS tomorrow and Friday.
"Oh gosh, okay thank you," the mother said while hanging up. "Seems like today is just not our day."

The family went to sit in the living room.

"That is why we have to cherish our good days," the grandmother said.

The Johnson family sat their and laughed it off.

"We can afford one bad day I guess," the father said.
