	No! No! No!             I woke up this morning when my mom came and said, “It’s time for school, Lucas. Get out of bed!” “Just one more minute,” I said a frown. But she answered, “No, Lucas. I said wake up now!”             I got out of bed and put on my clothes. “Breakfast is ready,” said my mother, Rose. “Can I have pancakes?” I asked. She said, “No! made oatmeal today. So just eat it and go.”           After breakfast, I sat down to watch some TV. “No! You must go to school.” Said my mother to me. “Aren’t you going to drive me?” I asked like a fool. She answered, “No, Luke, dear. Take the school bus to school!”             When I got to the school, I ran out to the yard. “No running! It’s class time,” said Charlie, the guard. And when lunch time came, I asked Mrs. Cruz for a hotdog and ice cream. She politely refused. “We have mangoes, bananas, macaroni and cheese, pears, grapes, and guavas, string beans, and peas.”              I thought I could play when I got home from school. But Mom said, “No! Chores first! You know the rules.” When my homework was done, I was hungry once more. “Pizza,” I said. But you know the score. My mother said, “No! We are having beef stew, carrots, and peas, and rice and beans, too.”             I won’t say what came next, but guess what Mom said: “No! You can’t do that. Get ready for bed.” And as my eyes closed, I felt myself float right out of the room, as if I were on a boat.             When I opened my eyes, I was in a strange space with hundreds of fairies all over the place. I tried to get up, but was quickly pushed down. “No! You must keep on sleeping,” said a sprite named Bob Brown.             My stomach was growling when I got out of bed. “Please give me some pancakes,” I said full of dread. “No pancakes,” said Bob. “It’s Ding-dong today. Just gobble you breakfast and go out to play.”             After hours of playing, I was ready to stop. “No resting,” said a sprite who was dresses like a cop. I’m hungry,” I said. “I’d like hotdogs and fries.” “No hotdogs,” she said. “Only cupcakes and pies.             After lunch, I was tired. I wanted to nap. “No napping!” said Bob Brown. “Get ready to rap.” And Bob started rapping and shaking the floor. I was tired and scared, but the sprites wanted more.             When dinner time came, I was hungry for steak, baked, potatoes, and string beans – no more cookies and cake. But the fairies said “No! We don’t eat healthy food.”             After dinner, they told me I could not go to bed, but my stomach was aching, and so was my head. Just then I got dizzy and started to swoon. When I opened my eyes, I was back in my room.              I woke up that morning, to my mother’s sweet voice. I got out of bed quickly, as if by choice. I ate oatmeal, not pancakes. I did not watch TV. I went straight to class after the bus took me to school. For lunch, I ate oranges, apples, and ham. After doing my homework, I had chicken with yams. And when it was bedtime, I didn’t put up a fight. I got into bed, and Mom kissed me good night.
