"What do you guys want for dinner tonight?"

"Pasgetti!" (Spaghetti (does that even work in Japanese??? Let's pretend it it does ))
"Curry!"
"Salmon,"

"Hmm... how about instead, we go get KFC!"

All three children cheered as you led them into the family car, each of them quickly buckling in. It was always a treat when they got to eat out for dinner. You didn't like getting fast food too often for cost, convenience, and health reasons.

I mean why would you drive all the way to a restaurant to get a burger when you could just eat a home cooked meal in the safety of your house?
Because burgers are amazing goddamnit!

Once you walked inside, you gave the cashier your order.
"Hello, could I get a 12 piece bucket, and four sodas? One large, one medium, and two small,"

Denji and Power whined,
"Small? We want large!"

"The two of you can have large soda's when you're older. I don't want any of you to suffer through a stomach ache from all that fizzy sugar,"

Giving them the large soda would probably end up being a good learning moment for them, letting them know the consequences of their actions. But it'd also mean willingly letting your children suffer, which would make you feel like a complete and utter asshole, so you decided not to give into their complaints.

Even though they may not have gotten the large sodas of their dreams, they did end up getting amazing fried chicken. They sat patiently in their seats as you gave each of them a paper plate and napkins, and proceeded to absolutely ravage the bucket of chicken.

It hurt a little bit seeng as they'd never eaten any of your cooking like this before, but you supposed it was due to the novelty of the situation.

"Chew your food Power, and eat a little slower Denji, I don't want you to choke,"

The heeded your warnings, trying to be on their "best" behavior.

Once they were satisfied with their meals, you wiped their faces down with a napkin and got them back into the car. You glanced at them through your rear view mirror, and your heart melted as you saw them soundly sleeping.

There was no doubt that at least one of them was faking it, but you'd play along anyways.

Somehow you managed to carry all three into the house at the same time, not wanting any of them to feel left out. You gave each of them a goodnight kiss before tucking them in, and then went to the living room for some much needed relaxation time.

You cracked open a beer you'd hidden far back in the fridge in a secret compartment, and took your first sip in a very long time.

Okay, maybe it didn't really taste how you remembered, and maybe it didn't taste too good, but you weren't gonna just waste a perfectly good beer.

So while watching the news, you downed the whole thing, and while slightly buzzed, you went to sleep.
