Escalation

McDonald's

As Hamilton finished his work and left his office, he spectated Philip buying McDonald's on GrubHub without his father's permission.

Hamilton, quick as a lightning bolt then took the phone from him. "Hey, no McDonald's! We only eat McDonald's on Fridays." Philip then looked very sad, yet angry at the same time. "But it is Friday!" he then said.

Hamilton began to look annoyed. "No it isn't, it's Thursday!" Philip had his eyes wide open, as confident as ever, he said, "The next day." Eliza looked at him. "Ugh, Philip! You are so impatient!"

A day had past and it was finally Friday, Hamilton woke his children up. "Philip!" he said. "Wake up, let's get McDonald's!" Philip then scoffed. "Ugh, but dad! It's 4 in the morning, McDonald's opens at 9!"

Hamilton smiled, "We have a McDonald's nearby! I'll go get some." Philip then finally agreed. "Oh, okay. It's 12."

Their father Hamilton then went on his horse and rode to McDonald's. As he went home, he greeted Eliza and Angie.

"Hello, Eliza and Angie! Do you know where Philip is?" Eliza and Angie shook their heads. "Hmm, okay," he said, handing the food to Eliza. "Thanks!" she said. "I'm going to go look for Philip."

As he walked around town, he found Philip in an alleyway. "Hello, Philip. What are you doing in this alleyway?" Philip wasn't facing his father. He looked like he was crying. "Hey, Philip. I got you a happy meal, your favorite. You know, it's about time I tell you this." Hamilton cleared his throat. "We get you a McDonald's happy meal every Friday so you're not sad all the time." Philip smiled. "Okay, pops!"

As they opened the door to their home, they saw Eliza and Angie having a conversation. "Okay, let's go look for Pip." They turned to the door. "Oh, thank goodness! You're back, Pip!" I hope everyone ate their breakfast well.
