I could hardly contain my excitement as I waited outside the school gates for my Mom to pick me up. My friends were all excited for me too!

“I can’t believe you’re finally going to see your Mom, I know she’s only been away a year, but it seems like forever!”

“I know right! I’m so happy, I’ve really missed her.”

“Yeah, I know you’ve spoken to her every day, but it’s not the same as having your Mom there, is it?’

“I can’t imagine how I’d feel if my Mom had to go away for a year. Anyway, she’s back now and in a few minutes you’ll get to see her!”

I looked down the road, trying to see if I could see her car coming. My stomach had butterflies and my heart was beating like mad,

“Come on, Mom, hurry up!”

Suddenly this random woman walked up to me, put her arms around me, and gave me a big hug.

“Hello darling!”

“Err… Who are you?”

“Marsha, what do you mean who am I? I’m your Mom!”

My mouth fell open in shock, it was definitely my Mom’s voice, I would recognise that anywhere. But this woman looked nothing like my Mom!

I could hear my friends sniggering and whispering to each other.
