Procrastination Day
Reading Comprehension for September 6

"Good, Wayne. You are on the right track. Anyone else?"
"It's when you have a habit of putting off doing a task," Marla answered.
"That's right," Mrs. Carmichael responded. "Does procrastination feel good?"
"Sure," Blake offered. "Then you get to do only the fun stuff!" The class chuckled.
Mrs. Carmichael smiled. "Okay, let's say that is true. What happens when what you have neglected comes due?"
