behaving children

Mom was already annoyed. "Stop fighting already! I need to go shopping! We have guests tonight!"

"Sally started it." Freddy complained.

"Not true. He keeps using my dolls for his snuff play."

"This is it! In your rooms! Both of you!"

When mom returned from shopping, she realized she forgot something.

"Sally! Freddy! Kitchen, Now!"

The guests arrived to a pleasant aroma.

Two delicious brown roasts rested above the oven, juices oozing and sizzling.

"This is all your fault!" the boy roast hissed past its apple.

"No! You caughhhhhh..."

Mom sighed, relieved that carving them up finally stopped their fighting.
