      Fancy Nancy - Jane O'Connor

      "Are we wealthy?" Nancy asked her parents. Being wealthy sounded—well, it sounded wealthier than just being rich.

      It was Sunday afternoon. Her father was checking the kitchen cabinets and making out a grocery list. Her mother sat at the breakfast table, paying bills. JoJo was feeding Frenchy part of a sugar cookie.

      Her mom looked up from her laptop. What makes you ask that?

      Mom! Nancy cried. You always do that!

      Do what? her mom asked.

      Instead of answering a question, you ask another one. Nancy sighed. I’m not being nosy. I am being inquisitive. So . . . are we?

      Nope, her mother said. We’re definitely not wealthy.

      But, her dad added, we have a roof over our heads that only leaks a little, clothes on our backs, and—once I get back from the supermarket—I can promise none of us will go hungry.

      Exactly. We aren’t rich and we aren’t poor. Nancy’s mother handed her father a bunch of coupons for stuff on sale. We are lucky to be somewhere in the middle, she told Nancy. We have everything we need but maybe not everything we wish we had.

      Nancy had expected that answer. The Clancys were average. That was fine. She understood that her family was lucky not to be poor. Still, average sounded boring.

      Grace’s family is wealthy.

      Nancy’s mom didn’t answer. She was focused on her laptop.

      Her grandpa is a millionaire, Nancy went on. Someday Grace will be an heiress. That means she’ll get tons of money after he’s dead.

      Getting a fortune sounded great to Nancy. Finding a fortune sounded even better. At school, room 3D was learning about the Gold Rush of 1849.

      Did you know that as soon as gold was found in California, thousands and thousands of people raced out there? They all wanted to find gold and get rich quick, and some did! Nancy paused, then went on, If that happened to me, we could fly to Paris and stay at a fancy hotel. I’d buy a whole new wardrobe. Not just for me but for all of you.

      Merci beaucoup, her mom said. That’s very sweet. Then she put down a stack of bills. Sure, being rich would be fun. Still, it isn’t what’s most important to Dad or me.

      Her dad stuffed the shopping list and coupons in his back pocket. Then he jangled his car keys. Come on, girls. After the Stop and Shop we can hit a tag sale. Who knows what treasures we’ll find.

      Nancy knew that by treasures her dad meant old superhero comic books. He had boxes and boxes of them from when he was a kid. And he was always adding to his collection.

      JoJo leaped up on their dad for a piggyback ride out the door.

      Alas, I cannot come, Nancy told her father. She had to put the finishing touches on her project for Gold Fever Day. It was tomorrow. And Nancy’s project was superb, if she did say so herself.
