Henry and Melissa both nodded and entered their respective rooms.
The next morning, Henry and Melissa were given larger sizes of their clothes and sent home.On the way home they got their excuses straightened out.
It was afternoon as Melissa arrived first and was greeted by her family.
"Melissa, where have you been?" Her mother asked.
"I'm sorry Mom, I went camping with Henry McDonnell." She replied. Her mother sighed, "You shouldn't do that without telling us. You could have been hurt."
Melissa nodded, "I know Mom, I'm sorry." Her mother smiled, "It's alright, just don't do it again."
"Yes Mom."
20 Minutes Later
"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" Henry called out as he walked through the front door.
His mother and father came rushing over, giving him hugs. "Where have you been son? We were worried sick!" His father exclaimed.
Henry shrugged, "I was camping with Melissa Robertson. I'm sorry, I didn't think."
His parents warned in their loving way, "Well, next time you want to go camping, let us know. You could get hurt if you're not careful."
Henry nodded, "I will let you know next time, I promise."
"Well then, get cleaned up and we'll have dinner. I made your favourite, steak and potatoes." His mother said with a smile.
Henry smiled, "Thanks Mom." He said as he went upstairs to shower.
After dinner, Henry went to his room to finish any homework he had before going to bed.
