" Come on, Come on, If we don't leave in the next 20 or so minutes, we are gonna be late...again...just like we've been for the past few years" the Man stated to his wife while she was looking for something
" What would be the difference between those past years and this one" asked the wife slightly looking his way
" Nothing, it would just be nice to be on time for once"
" Your mother made a comment to you, Didn't she ?" The woman replied now fully looking at her husband
" What?! No, No, N-Yes"
" I know it"
" Well, I mean she has a point we used to always be on time, but over these past couple ye-" Over these past couple years we've welcomed 3 children with a 4th on the way" the wife replied this time while placing his hand on her stomach
" Your right, as always Your right" the man paused looking down at his hands " Where are the other 3 ?" He asked moving his eyes to look at his wife
" Our 17 year old is in his room on the phone with his newest girlfriend, Our 15 year old is also in her room currently trying to find an outfit and as for our 5 year old he is refusing to wear his shoe"
" Rock, Paper, scissors for who catches him this time?" The husband suggested jokingly
laughing the wife answered " Oh No, somehow you always cheat, so it's your turn" then she handed him the shoe she had been searching for and headed up the stairs to check on their oldest too
" Justin ! Get off that phone and start getting ready or I will show that girl your baby photos, And Annie you don't need to wear anything fancy, you just need to wear something !...except for P.J, Your grandma still hasn't forgiven us for the last time that one of us wore pjs" the wife shouted while getting to the top of the stairs
" Yeah and by " one of us" you mean you mom. Beside I was a bite embarrassed myself, I mean grandma always invites all of her neighbours and they bring their children or grandchildren and it was a bit humiliating to see their mother's all dressed up or semi dressed up" Annie replied stepping out from her room to better hear her mother
" First of all, I was pregnant with your little brother and so none of my fancy or even semi fancy clothes fit me and lastly I tried asking your grandmother before and after we got there if I could wear one of her dresses but I won't share with you what she said to me both of those times. Anyway, have you picked an outfit yet ? The Mother asked noticing that her daughter was still wearing pyjamas
Before Annie could answer the oldest finally came out of his room but was only wearing jeans
" Ew, put on a shirt" Annie demands has she turns to go back in her room
" Why are you not wearing a shirt ?"
" I want to show the lady's that rejected me last year what they're missing out on"
" No ! Go find a shirt"
"But!-Go"
"Ugh, Fine !" Justin replied frustrated
"Thank you!" His sister yelled from inside her room while he slams his door
The mother was just about to head back downstairs to check on her husband's progress with their youngest when her middle child called for her attention while emerging from her room again but this time in the outfit she chose " How's this ?" Annie asked feeling confident in her choice ( She chose long red tights with a blue and green striped crop top)
" Perfect !" Her mother replied giving her a warm smile " But Don't forget your jacket"
" oh why? To cover my stomach?"
" No !, because it's winter which means it will be a cold walk from the car to your grandma's house"
"Right !" Annie replied before running pass her mom to head downstairs to find her coat
The mother took a quick moment to laugh with herself before following her daughter. But as soon as she hit the bottom she heard her oldest ask " Better?" From behind her.
Turning around to find him standing at the top of the stairs wearing black jeans with a light blue buttoned up shirt " Much Better !, You look as handsome as your father"
" Mom!"
" okay- okay, now come down and find your jacket"
" You know, I think we're actually gonna make it on time" Says the older man happily while coming from the living room as his son passes by him
" Oh really?Then where's Hank ?"
" Annie took him to the car already"
" without his shoes?" The wife questioned noticing how now both shoes are still in her husband's hand
" We'll try again when we get there" the husband answered while lightly laughing
" Ah, okay" the wife replied laughing along before pulling him in for a kiss.
