Elizabeth said crying “Why?” Mrs. Halsted said “Elizabeth, me and your mom are very upset with you. You can’t control your friends. ” Elizabeth said crying “Yes I can. ” She said “Elizabeth, Teddy is going to the after-high-school program in Lacrosse after this year. ” Elizabeth continued to cry. The next day was Elizabeth’s PSP meeting. Mrs. Halsted said “This meeting is about Elizabeth’s living future. ”

Betty said “That makes me very sad because I hoped to talk about her school future and work future. ” Elizabeth said crying “I want to live with my high school sweetheart, Scott. ” Betty said “That’s it. I am getting grant money and build her a house. ” Mrs. Halsted said “I think that you should get a park model and you should leave her at your house. ” Betty said “This is the problem though. I have a sewing business with my sister. ”

Betty said “That would be hard to run bedding to Dish With Blake Foundation Bedding Mart. ” Mrs. Halsted said “Can’t you run stuff to the store? Have your own little delivery service?” Betty said “That would be hard too. Park models are too small too. ” She said “But I don’t think that she doesn’t deserve a house. She cries when we criticize her. ” Elizabeth said crying “Can Scotty be my roommate?”
