"You can go downstairs and take a bath yourself, right?"
"Yes, Mommy! Mackie is… smart and independent!" Mackie claimed, to which Chloe chuckled as a response.
Mackie had just heard about the word independent at school about three days ago, and she started using it because she thought it was a cool word.
She also wanted to show Mommy that she was a cool, independent girl!
Chloe was washing Mackie's large plate after she ate a whole banana cream pie all by herself. Then, she heard a click from Vernon's bedroom door and turned around instinctively.
Vernon left his bedroom with a large plate of empty banana cream pie and an empty glass. He walked to the kitchen and saw his sister-in-law staring back at him.
Their eyes widened at the same time, and after that… there was only silence.
