\nDad's Job Excerpt:
\nSunlight slipped through the shades in Owen\u2019s room. As the light sparkled on his pillow, Owen blinked. Then he sat up excitedly Today was the day! Owen hopped out of bed, practically running to his closet. He grabbed his favorite purple collared shirt and his nicest pair of pants. Owen wanted to look his best for his day with dad. Now that he was dressed Owen zipped downstairs to have breakfast. Dad grinned, glad to see Owen felt so enthusiastic for their day together. After all, he was just as excited as Owen. As Owen finished eating his breakfast Dad asked, \u201cAre you ready to go to work with me?\u201d
