One morning on Monday, January third, Rachel and Mom went to Uno's. They hoped to get pancakes and croissants for breakfast. Mom wore sweatpants. She was so excited to have breakfast with Rachel that she started skipping. Of course, Rachel had her pink DynaVox VMax with her so they could talk! Mom and Rachel went into Uno's and found a table. The waiter came and said, "What can I get for you?” Mom asked him, "Do you have pancakes and croissants?" He asked mom to choose something different because there were no more pancakes and croissants. He said a hungry boy named Heath ordered ALL the pancakes and croissants using his DynaVox. None were left. Mom and Rachel were so angry that they charged through the hallway and out of Uno's without eating anything! They couldn't believe that bad guy Heath ate ALL their food! He must have eaten a mountain of pancakes and croissants! Next, they went to the bakery near the airport. When they asked the clerk if he could feed them, he said, "No! We sold all our food to a boy named Heath who ate the food with his mouth!" Rachel and Mom bounced because they were so hungry. "What should we do?" asked Rachel. The clerk said, "Listen. If you want to eat, you're going to have to cook it yourself. We're closing!" Rachel said, "Big gas giant!” Mom said, "You're right. He is a big giant man who's full of gas! What a mess! Let's move!" Then, Mom and Rachel walked to the grocery store where they heard applauding and music. The Phillies were there! Mom jumped frantically and Rachel yelled, "Go!” Mom said, "You want me to do what?" Rachel said, "Go!" Mom said, "Oh! You want to go see the Phillies?” Rachel said "Yeah!" on her DynaVox. "Look!" said Mom. "They're over there on that square on the floor." "Come!" said Rachel. They were so happy that they bounced and danced toward the Phillies. They cut in line fast because they were hungry. When they got to the Phillies, Mom and Rachel asked if the team could help them find pancakes and croissants to cook. The Phillies couldn't believe Mom and Rachel. They said, "Are you tricking us?" Mom and Rachel said, "No!” Chase Utley said, "Oh! We hate when people want food and can't find it! We'll take you to Applebee’s and call the waitress. If she doesn't come over, we'll repeat ourselves." The young waitress came over fast because it was Chase Utley! It was easy for her to wait on famous people. She asked what everyone wanted just before a Barbie crashed into their table. "AWESOME!" yelled Rachel. She loved Barbies. Chase said to the waitress, "Hello. We came here for pancakes and croissants " The waitress said, "Keep talking. I don't believe it. You want pancakes and croissants??” Everyone yelled, "YEAH!!” Finally, the waitress brought pancakes and croissants. Rachel said thank you to Chase. Everyone was happy.
