Catastrophic Part 3check it out check it out

They came in loudly. Jenny started jumping on me. It wasn't the worse awakening of my life but it was still pretty bad.
"Were going to get some food Mickey!" Jenny was excited, she loved eating at restaurants, she was well behaved and didn't really act up. Mom always said I was a hassle at restaurants, she said it was because I was trying to get attention, I didn't know.
Mom was always trying to relate me to her psychology books. She wanted to be a child psychologist, it didn't interest me. We live in a big building and she said her office would be in our apartment, I don't really want crazy kids in our apartment but I guess if she's helping them it would be ok.
"I'm not really hungry." I said. Dad just nodded.
"Well I guess you could check out the resort while we eat." I saw Jennies face sadden. She obviously wanted me to go with them but I didn't really want to eat. "We'll wash up and then be out of your hair." Mom went into the bathroom and dad turned the tv on and decided to watch the news.
"Can't you please come mickey?" Jenny said as I got comfortable again. "It won't be any fun without you."
"Sorry Jenny I'm just not in the mood." She became sadder. "I'll make it up to you I promise."
"Will you come with me on the ski lift?"
"Of course I will." She became happy again. I loved Jenny and if I had to take her on the slopes I woulds.
"Mike come look at this." Dad called as I was about to fall back asleep. I got up and walked over to the tv. "Look at this, man grows biggest tomato." I saw the picture on the screen. A farmer with blue overalls and a straw hat holding a tomato bigger then his head. "Isn't that amazing."
"Sure is dad." I lied. Dad was interested in some odd things, huge foods, oddly colored bugs, neon lights, all things that he obsessed over. It was a miracle that he hasn't been fired from his job. Dad worked at a major law firm in New York City, he was a lawyer. Don't get me wrong he was good at his job he was just a little off sometimes.
"Well the bathrooms nice." Mom said as she walked into the room. My dad got up from his spot on the couch turned off the tv and went into the bathroom.
"I guess no one went downstairs." I said.
"I did!" Jenny said. I laughed.
"I'm gonna go check out the rest of the resort now mom. Is that ok?"
"It's fine dear just make sure to check in with your father and I every so often."
"Ok mom." I waked over to the door and on my way out I saw Jenny get upset. I was going to turn around but I was already gonna make it up to her later so without another word I shut the door and started walking down the hallway.
