Life in prison

Chapter 17

Family.

You accept each Teletubby with all his flaws. With their problems and habits, because that's how a family works, where all family members are not related to each other.

"I didn't understand what you said, Alayla." - said the educator with a chuckle, looking at her panting sister.

"Just say that the Iris was with you all night." - Barely breathing said the guard.

Anika grinned. - "Okay, sis. Just why are you so scared?"

"MILES ALMOST STRANGLED ME, THE WAY RICHARD HANDLES HIM!"- she shouted pulling her sister by her shoulders.

Anika couldn't help herself, she just started laughing at her sister's panicked state!

"DON'T LAUGH!" - The guard shouted.

"Ahah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I can't! You're so funny!" - she yelled, almost dying of laughter.

Iris was a little embarrassed at this reaction. But she continued to stand not far from the two girls with interest watching Anika trying to stop herself.

"OK, OK! I'M CALM!" - shouted the kindergartener standing up in a "I'm calm!" style, but she couldn't last that long and so she immediately fell to the floor laughing.

Alayla lowered an angry look at her, but Anika only continued laughing because of that.

"Very funny." - She almost spat at her sister. - "I'll laugh when you get strangled too."

Anika ignored her words and continued laughing.

"You are setting a bad example for the kids ~ "- Ala almost sang out.

That seemed to be what brought Anika out of her fit of laughter. She laughed some more as she looked at the Iris and the two Teletubbies that were coming towards them.

She managed to see Charlie and Vin in them.

- Oh, are you boys awake already? - She asked affectionately.

Iris turned toward the noise and almost fell to the floor when she saw Vin beside her. This reaction from the little girl made Charlie grin. Vin, on the other hand, ignored it completely.

"Yes, and half the group is already awake. Your assistants are already helping them to wake up."- Vin reported.

Anika nodded and looked at the guard, giving her a look that said she'd better leave or she'd be babysitting tonight. To which Alayla only grinned.

"Okay, you've got a lot of work to do here. I'll be off then."

"Goodbye, Ms. Alayla!" - Shouted in the footsteps of the Iris to the departing guard.

Anika also waved at her sister, smiling. She then turned towards the children.

"Well? Let's go for breakfast!"

The kids exclaimed happily.

***

Today for breakfast they had juice and porridge. Many children didn't like it, but under the teacher's menacing gaze all the plates were empty in a flash.

During breakfast the children sat at tables by age. This was done for the convenience of Anika's helpers.

Many children had already finished their porridge, but they did not leave the tables. Because if those children who had already eaten went to play, the rest of the children would not eat anything. So some children just watched someone eating or looked pitifully at the toys. Mostly the younger ones did this, while the teenagers just watched the smaller ones.
