TJ looks out the window of his new house. The moving truck had just pulled away and he could see the park across the street where kids were playing. "It's a great day outside," he heard Mom say from the doorway. "Why don't you go out and play with some of the kids in our new neighborhood?" TJ sighed, "maybe later, Mom. Right now I just want to get some more of my toys out and play in my new room." "OK, a lot of your toys are in the big brown box by your closet," Mom said as she left to do more unpacking. TJ looked sad as he walked away from the window saying quietly to himself, "Who would want to play with me anyway? I'll never make new friends here. All my friends are at my old house."
