"Come on Max, how about some quality time with pops while we fish?" Asked a middle-aged man with dusty overalls over his clothes. He had just walked into a kitchen where two small kids resided coloring pictures on paper. The kitchen had white cabinets, lots of iron pans hanging from holders, and a busted-up old gas oven.
The child looked at his father and said, "But it's too hooooooot!" The child put down his crayons and whined. Briefly, in the next room, you can hear a feminine voice say, "Your poor father been tend'in the fields all day. Would it kill you to get outside the house?"

A little girl wearing pink clothes and younger than max said in discontent, "Noooo! We cwant eat t'he wata cats!" Hearing this the mother walked into the room putting some folded clothes down and hugged her daughter from behind while patting her head.

The wife walked over to him sitting and rubbed his shoulders, "Just promise to take it more easily. By this rate, our kids are gonna need to send you than me to the retirement home."
"Yea, yea. I promise. Anyway, I still wanna take out my boy for sum fish wrestle'n WWE time." He said reaching over and ruffling the boys hair.
"Ok honey just make sure to be back before three. Y'all are gonna miss some of my cooking and the mosquitoes will make you outa food." She grabbed a basket of dirty clothes before walking off.
"Let's roll out Maks, Imma show ya all my secret power moves no video games or movies can teach you," John said enthusiastically while getting up.
The kid stopped what he was drawing and finally caved in as he said "Fine, let's go already."
