While We Wait

Bee Johnson

Two girls spend the day accompanying their mother on errands, encountering one wait after another before they even leave home. They pass the time by playing, then wait at the post office, during their mother’s conversation with a friend, and for food at a diner. The diner delay overwhelms them, but the day continues through phone calls, dinner, and bedtime. A note at home suggests that they are also waiting for their father to return.
