It's late November and Harry's school finishes for the year in 5 days time.
So both Harry's and his dad's head is full of Christmas songs that the school's music teacher, Mrs Lamberton, drilled into their minds from long school practices. After saying their usual "see you laters", the family drive in their opposite ways to start their busy day.
On their way to Blue Shaw Primary School, the Tipping boys make their routine stop at the Mc Café drive thru.
Mr Tipping started the usual order, "One medium Cappuccino and one medi-"
"One medium Cappuccino and one large hot chocolate" Harry said eagerly.
"Chocolate or cinnamon?", chirped the steward.
"Chocolate for both please", replied Harry before he could be cut off by his father.
"Now you just wait one minute Harry, what's the special occasion that you need to have a large ?"
"Well I thought since it's my last few days at Blue Shaw...", his voice trailed off before he finished.
"Well ok, but only because it's you last few days spending your whole day at school with your wonderful father" Mr Tipping replied with a childish look on his face.
"Sure dad what ever ya say" Harry said unsure how to feel about what had just been said.
The two boys drove on to the window opening at the end of the drive thru,
the small blonde steward was waiting cheerfully with two hot cups in her hands, "Hello there gentlemen, here you go, be careful they're still quite hot!"
"We will be, thanks" Mr Tipping's now snow covered hands handed Harry his large cup of hot chocolate.
Up went the window and on they went on their morning route to school.
As they drove through the school gates, Mr Tipping noticed that his reserved car park was taken. After a good five minutes of car park hunting, the boys finally found a spot.
"I wonder who the idiot was that park in my spot? It's clearly got Teacher's Reserve written on it."
"Dad it's no biggie, just go and see if anyone is in the car.
"I'm calling a tow truck."
"Woo dad calm down, maybe it's a just mum in a rush."
"Still, when I'm in a rush I watch where I park!"
"Dad shhh ur embarrassing me."
"How do you think I feel? I got out parked by a soccer mum"
"Oh my god, I can't be bothered, go and do what you want, just keep me out of it"
Harry walked away as fast as he could towards his class.
"See you later!" Mr tipping shouted.
"Yeah whatever" Harry mumbled.
