- How long are we going to be here?
- I picked this because it shows the kids wanting to go home. Their mom thought that coming to her home that she grew up in would be good. She figured out that it wasn't the same. Since her brothers and sisters had all moved away it didn't feel the same for her. It shows the kids kind of irritating their mom about it and their mom not sure what they're going to do. Later in the story their mom finally decides to move to New York. They figure out that it was a really good choice.
