"Um, Mr. Barnett, I think you forgot 'bout our order here," I said without thinking.
"Yes, now I didn't forget I will be with you in a minute."
After saying that he went right along helping all them whites. He would fill our order a little until a white came along and go help them and such it took a full thirty minutes before our order was read. By this time Stacey and TJ had come back.
"You shouldn't have said that he could have been real mad with us for not be respectful," Stacey lectured me.
I didn't care though because it was to late now to take it back. We continued on with our shopping. I waited and watched our wagon to see if Big Ma had come back yet, but the boys didn't care they continued on shopping.
"Uh, Stacey I think we should go back and wait for Big Ma, it isn't right just leaving like we did. She will be mad," I complained.
"Aw, hush up Cassie we will be fine."
I knew we would be fine but not fine with the trouble they are causing. Even though they weren't causing real trouble Stacey might get it for wondering away like this.
They kept in shopping by now we almost had all of our shopping done. I was starting to think that Big Ma may be proud of us instead of mad, but she did tell us to stay by the wagon.
Once we were done shopping we head back to the wagon with all our goods and saw Big Ma was still not there. By this point I was worried.
I guess I worried to soon though, because a second after we got there Big Ma come out of. The office and said she was proud of us. We went home just before dark.
