koharu, my granddaughter, is a first year
high school student.
At this time of the year, high school students
have the midterm examination.
koharu comes home earlier than usual
during the midterm examination—four days.
Yesterday she came home around 2:00p.m.
“Hello, Mom! I'm home!” koharu said
opening the door.
“Oh, you miss Mom, don't you, koharu?
Your mother is busy studying at university
and will be late coming home.
You want her to stay at home,
don't you, koharu?”
“Oh, NO. If Mom stays at home alone,
I always worry what if anything wrong
has happened to her.
Mom studies at university now and her classmates
will help her if anything wrong has happened to her.
I don't mind Mom coming home late
if she enjoys her life at university.”
I am happy to find my little girl has grown up
into a thoughtful high school girl.
