Dad’s First Day

I think Dad is nervous. At breakfast, he almost poured milk into his orange juice instead of into his cereal bowl! Mom doesn’t seem worried. She knows why Dad is a little upset. Today is his first day at a new job.

My dad builds bridges. Some of them look heavy and strong. Others look light, as if they are just hanging in the air. Dad says the light bridges are just as strong as the heavy ones.

Dad is an excellent bridge builder, even at home. Once, we almost filled my whole room with bridges. We used boxes, blocks, pots, pans, and even the dog’s dish. It was great.

I know Dad has tons of great bridge ideas, so he shouldn’t be nervous. I guess he just wants
to practice making one more bridge before he goes to work.
