Sooo?

What happened today?

Nothing really. I mean the older kids can mean sometimes. But the girls have it easy. And at least I have Melissa watching my back.

Yeah, I remember when I was in high school She must have seen my shocked look, which warranted a playful tap behind my head. Punk. We laughed. Anyway, there was this one kid, he was the butt of all the pranks in school. I mean even I had a go at him.

Mom?!

Yeah, well I was young and stupid.

And cruel.

Yeah. She sighed. I think I hurt her feelings a little.

What happened to him?

He owns a software company, making millions.

We were talking, and talking, even lost track of time too. That was until mom called to see where we were. They take turn in dropping us off and picking us up. Today I get Bette. Tina decided to meet us at the ice cream parlour. And after about an hour or so we went home. I had to use the bathroom, so as soon as the door was open I sped to the bathroom. I love ice cream but too much ice cream doesnt love me. Took a shower and gave Aiden a bath after. Our parents prepared dinner. I am not sure why dinner takes two persons. I mean I do mac and cheese in minutes, and I do it alone. Anyway they spend so much time making out, no wonder dinner takes forever and it takes two to do it. And when dinner is done, they spend just as much time in the shower.

After dinner Bette, Aiden and I were fooling around. Tina went to put out the garbage. Just as she came in and was locking up the door the phone rang.

Hello? Oh hi Marilyn. John? John, whats wrong? Youre scaring me What happened to Melissa?

I couldnt hear the whole conversation. We really werent paying attention, but when moms voice got louder, with the mention of Melissas name, mom stopped fighting me and her attention turned to Tina. She walked over to Tina who was already finished with her call and was obviously crying.
