The kids' praise totally went to his head!
He got so carried away, he called in sick to work just to help Evan fulfill his dream.
Now, he regretted it.
Why did he have to take off today of all days? Couldn't he have just waited until tomorrow? Tomorrow was
Saturday-Evan didn't even have school!
But regret was useless now.
Clayton saw his son-in-law looking all gloomy and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He sighed and said,
"You're probably better off going to apologize first. Sold drill-if she starts smacking you, just yell for help.
We'll crescue you."

Elliot whispered, "Dad, Mom found out you called the school for Evan. She's got murder in her eyes."
Emmett nodded seriously. "She's so mad, | think she wants to eat you alive!"

definitely no more faking sick! s

Evan added, "Oh, and she's still really mad at you!"
Tarquin asked, "Did you try to plead my case?"
Evan straightened up, looking all noble. "Of course! You only got in trouble because of me, so | had to say
something-but...no luck. She toldKid let the grown-ups handle this.' So Dad, | did my best. You're on your
