The kids are spending most of their time now that they are on vacation from school playing outside the house, which is actually good for their health, as the activities outdoors provide them the exercise and the sun that they do not otherwise get during the school year. The likely place that they would want to take their noon meals will be in the playhouse, which you just furnished with a new set of childrens table and chairs sets. They could include in their play, pretending to cook their lunch out there in the play kitchen of the playhouse, which of course Mom approves, as this frees her from the kids’ endless bothering of her own cooking in the kitchen.
Mom’s imagination these days knows no end as she tries to keep the kids busy so she can do her chores in peace, free from the usual bothersome demands of the children staying home in summer. She has asked you to buy that set of kid table and chair which you both have been eyeing for sometime at the store selling all the needs of children in the mall the past two weeks. Now that the set is finally in the playhouse, it is Mom’s turn to motivate the girls to start cooking their own lunch, and eat it on the new chairs and tables set.
Mom of course augments the cooking of the girls with her own cooking when she joins them at mealtime in the playhouse dining table. She just have to be careful when she sits on one of the children’s chairs, as her boy warns her that she might be too heavy for the chair, not designed for an adult’s weight. Mom gently reminds her kid she is not that heavy now, as she has been strictly observing her diet after you jokingly told her one time that she is fast losing her Miss Universe figure with all her eating out with the kids in the playhouse.
You married Mom after she participated in the Miss Universe contest sometime ago, and this has been her pride always that you have married a Miss Universe finalist, so you better take good care of her. The kids always approve of such a boast by Mom, and they loudly help in egging you to take good care of the children as well of a Miss Universe finalist!
When Mom tells you at dinnertime about the warning of your little boy about being careful on sitting down on a chair of the childs table and chair set set in the playhouse at lunchtime, you and the little boys threw high fives at one another. You now have a partner on your side to remind Miss Universe to watch her diet.
You ask the boy why he wants Mom to recover her figure before as a Miss Universe contestant. His reason: he does not want to let his classmates see a bloated Miss Universe, because that was what he was boasting about too to his classmates all along. |
