"So, Mom, there's a party tonight at Andrew Adler's and everyone's is gonna be there" Haley says, hoping to convince mom. "That sounds like so much fun, but I have other plans" mom says jokingly.

"I am so proud I taught you and dad sarcasm" I say, eating my pancakes and strawberry lemonade. "Your the one who taught dad sarcasm" Luke asks. I nod my head at him.

"Oh, that's hilarious, but I'm talking about me" Haley says, pointing to herself. "that's unusual" Alex mumbles.

"Honey, you said you'd go to your grandfather's tonight" mom says, pouring Alex more water.

"See that's what so perfect about this. Andrew only lives like, a couple blocks away from grandpa's"

"So I figured that I could go..." Haley explains her idea. "Sweetie, you made a commitment" mom says, walking into the kitchen. "But I really want to go and plus, every time I go over to grandpa's Manny stares at me the whole time" Haley says.

"Maybe if you wore a bra" Alex suggest. My jaw falls down. "Alex!" mom says in a warning tone.

"What? I can't wait to go to grandpa's. Family means everything to me" Alex says, turning her head to Haley. "Because you have no friends" Haley says.

"No, because I love grandpa, and he's getting older. Who knows how many years he has left?" Alex says sheepishly. "Is grandpa dying?" Luke questions. "Didn't they tell you?" Alex says.

"Alex, stop torturing your brother. No your grandpa is fine" mom says, reassuring Luke.

"For now" Alex whispers.

"doorbell rings"

"Who could that be? You expecting someone special?" dad says, trying to hint something. Mom raises her eyebrows at dad.

"What did you do?" I ask dad. "Just ordered something special" dad says confidently.

















"There are my little stinkers!" I hear grandpa say, while i unload the car. Walking with all the bags to grandpa who stands at the door with his arm extended. Handing him a few bags.

"Hola Maddy!" Gloria greets, holding Lily in her arms. "Hey Gloria" I greet her back, putting the bags down.

"Well, Hello there, Madison and Haley" Manny says in a weird tone, holding a glass of Cola. I raise my eyebrows at him while Haley nudges me. "This is what I meant this morning" Haley whispers.
