Crystal: When you get home, you need to get your kids and keep them away from me for the rest of the day before I punish them all until they're 18.
Devale: What did they do?
Crystal: Papa and Peanut won't stop fighting over the dumbest shit, your bad ass toddler is toddlering and I can't work a full twenty minutes without one of them running in here asking me for something.
Devale: I'm almost home, calm down on my kids.
Crystal: If you not here is 5 min they will be on the porch. All of them, the toddler ass too, hell his ass first.
Devale: Babe school JUST got out for the summer yesterday. How are you going to make it until school starts back up?
Crystal: I was going to ask you the same thing because I'm ready to give in and let them have all the screen time they want.
Devale: I'm here babe, I'll take them to the new slime studio so you can get your work done.
Crystal: I'll send them out. Come here for a second.
Devale walked in bypassing the kids and b-lined it to his wife. He didn't even get to greet her before Asher was at his pant leg asking for juice.
Crystal: No more juice Ash, you can have a little water if you're thirsty.
Asher immediately falls down at Devlaes's leg, begging for juice.
Devale: Come on Ash, stop crying, man, you're a big boy, right? Use your words, big boy.
Asher: I want juice daddy.
Devale: Good job. Go find Papa while I get your juice, ok?
Crystal: Babe, he's had enough juice today, give him water.
Devale: I'll make it 95% water and 5% juice because if he doesn't see me pour the juice in the cup, he gone spazz the hell out.
Crystal: He's a terror, and he got you wrapped around his terrorist little finger.
Devale: All yall spoiled and bratty, you included, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Crystal: Niether would I, we love it here. I need to talk to you about the trip when yall get back.
Devale: What about it?
Crystal: I might have to come home a day early. I'm trying to figure it out now.
Devale: Babe, this trip has been planned for months whatever it is can wait a day. I told you I'll support whatever you want but not at the expense of the kids.
Crystal: I know, babe. I'm trying to work it out now. I don't want to leave early, but if I have to, then I'll explain to the kids why.
Devale: I told you, never mind. We'll talk about it after we get back. I'll grab dinner, text me when you're done.
Crystal: Ok, thank you, Devale.
Devale: You don't have to thank me. they're my kids. I really do want you to succeed, babe, but I want your undivided attention on vacation.
Crystal: I know, babe. I only need an hour, maybe two, and I'll be done.
Aniyah came running in the room with Aden not too far behind her, both ready to tell on each other. Peanut started talking to Crystal in her bossy sister voice. She went into little sister whining mode when she saw Devale.
Aniyah: Ma, you better get your son. He keeps hitting me, and I'm going to kick him in the throat.
Devale: You gone do what?
