He is currently helping his son with potty training

He is currently helping his son with potty training. He recalls how his parents potty trained him and his sister Pearl, and was told that he was an easy child to potty train. However, now that he is trying to potty train his child, he realizes how challenging it can be. 

"Junior," he said, "If you go potty, I'll give you two shortbreads." 

Sophie returned home from her job at the hospital and hung up her coat, She heard the sound of the toilet flushing and some laughter.

"Junior, you did it!!!" exclaimed the Father with laughter as some mail came through the mail slot. 

Sophie picked up the mail while Shellington carried Junior up the stairs. 

"Guess who's a big boy now?" Shellington smiled. 

"ME!!!" Lil' Junior replied excitedly. 

Sophie then clapped for her little man. However, Lil' Junior covered his ears a little bit as Sophie had forgotten that not too long ago, Junior had been diagnosed with Autism. Both of them knew that their son was already special.

"Sorry sweety," Sophie said with an embarrassed giggle, "I forgot that you don't like loud noises,"

 "It's okay..." The three-year-old pup said in a cute voice

Shellington noticed the mail in his wife's hand and pushed his hair back from his face with a quick flick of his head. 

"What do we have?" he asked. 

Sophie shrugged as she looked through the mail. "Maybe some bills?" she said with a smile. 

They both chuckled as Lil' Junior reached out to his mother, and Sophie picked him up. Meanwhile, Shellington sorted through the mail. It was the usual mix of bills, taxes, and junk mail. As he sorted, he placed the bills and taxes on the kitchen counter and the junk in the trash. But then he noticed an envelope that was different from the rest. It wasn't a bill, tax notice, or junk mail. It was a light grey envelope with a blue octopus seal on the front.
