So did her cat. Mrs. Neely owned the apartment building. She was an old lady who spoke with a thick Norwegian accent. Jodie and Mrs. Neely got along very well. Mrs. Neely said that Jodie reminded her of her daughter, who had died in a car crash years ago. Mrs. Neely was a widow. She kept busy by volunteering at the local library and senior center. An excellent baker, she often brought bread and pastries to Jodie. Youre trying to make me fat, laughed Jodie one day. How will I ever find a boyfriend? I still cant believe that Prince Charming hasnt found you, said Mrs. Neely. Maybe youre just too pretty and too smart for the young men around here. Jodie was going to graduate school at night. She had a day job as a teachers assistant in the fourth grade. She loved teaching kids. The principal had already told her that a full-time teaching job was hers after she got her masters degree. Arent there any nice boys in your graduate classes, Jodie? Mrs. Neely asked. There are some, said Jodie. But theyre either married, or have a girlfriend, or are too focused on getting their degree. And dont forget, I have to concentrate on graduating, so I really shouldnt be dating anyway. |
