It’s too early!” Breakfast was no better. Kelly’s stool was too low and the porridge Mum made was too hot. By the time it was cool enough to eat, her drink was too cold! Kelly stomped upstairs to get ready for school. She put on the dress socks her mum has laid out for her. “I hate my dress. It’s too long!” Kelly shouted. “And I hate my socks, they’re too old!” Kelly’s mum sighed, but found her a stripy top, jeans and some fresh socks instead. They set off for school. “I’m going to be late. My scooter is too slow!” Kelly whined.When they got to the school gates, Kelly’s mum gave her a big hug and Kelly realised something had been just right all along… Ask your child: What do you think had been just right all along?
