Beverly stops by for a visit and Trent is the first one to the door.
Trent: *waving* Hi Miss Wilks!
Beverly: *melancholy tone* Is your mother here? I really need to talk to her.
Trent: *calling at the top of his voice* Mom!!!!
Beverly: I was hoping that you’d just quietly go get her, but… okay.
Mitzi: Hey Bev, what’s up?
Beverly: Girl wait til I tell you what happened! This fool came over last night and….
Trent finds a convenient spot to sit and listen in on grown folks’ business.
Mitzi eventually sees that Trent is listening in on her conversation with Bev, so she sends him away. Trent decides to go and introduce himself to the neighbor’s kids.
Trent: *knocks on door*
Next door neighbor: Come in!
The neighbor’s son comes down the stairs…
Kyle Jr.: Hi… I’m Kyle, follow me!
Trent happily follows Kyle into the living room.
Kyle Jr.: So, who are you?
Trent: I’m Trent… I live next door.
Kyle Jr.: I’ve never seen you at school.
Trent: I start tomorrow.
Kyle Jr.: Good! You can hang out with me and my sister Mya!
Trent: *excited* Okay!
Kyle Jr.’s parents, Evelyn and Kyle, are not afraid to display their affection out in the open…
Trent and Kyle Jr. chat for a while and discover that they have more than just their hats in common. Trent is glad to have a new friend.
As Trent is leaving, he spots Kyle Jr.’s sister Mya, but is feeling a little too shy to go over and meet her. Instead, he hurries home before it begins to get dark outside.
Mitzi is on the computer working when Trent gets home. He gets leftovers from the refrigerator and eats his dinner alone.
Trent’s not alone for long…
Mitzi: So where did you go today?
Trent: I went and met the little boy next door.
Mitzi: Is he nice?
Trent: Yep and he says that he’ll be my friend tomorrow at school.
Mitzi: That’s great honey!
Mitzi orders Trent to take a bath, but he ends up playing in the tub the whole time.
Trent finishes his bath and sees that his mother is back on the computer. He really wants her attention.
Trent: Mom! Will you play with me?
Mitzi: I have some work to finish up right now Trent.
Trent: But I want you to play with me now!
Mitzi: I will play with you tomorrow… right now it’s time for you to go to bed.
Trent: But you’re always on the computer!
Mitzi: Trent… now is not the time! Bed! Now!
Trent doesn’t move… he stands there trying to decide whether to push the issue one more time. His mother looks pretty serious, so he decides that he’d better go to bed before he gets into trouble.
After Trent is in bed, Mitzi tries to continue working, but she feels bad that she sent him to bed while she was angry. When she goes in to check on him, he’s already asleep. Mitzi tucks him in and also goes to bed.
