Jeremy loved his Mom too. She was like all the Moms on the old TV shows he sometimes watched with his Dad. She was always cooking great things to eat, or tidying up the house. Even when Jeremy made a mess in a room she had just cleaned, she never got mad. She just cleaned it up again. Jeremy used to feel really guilty about that, so he stared being really careful not to mess things up. He also felt kind of guilty that he didnąt tell his Mom how much he appreciated her and how much he loved her. He tried, but he was a boy and boys donąt say things like that. His Mom was smart, though. She understood what he wanted to say, even if he couldnąt. No, Jeremy certainly wasnąt unhappy at home.
