If you play with fire.. you get burned

Chapter 108

Over the next few days, Mila and Marcus brainstormed ways to play with their little sister, and eventually came up with an idea they'd only put into practice when their parents weren't around. One afternoon, while Robert had to go to the station, Andy asked Mila and Marcus if they could watch their little sister while she took a quick shower. Little Massiel had regurgitated milk all over Andy after eating, which was why she needed to take a shower. Both Mila and Marcus immediately agreed, and after much admonition, Andy left little Massiel on the bed with the twins and then went to the bathroom for a shower.

Mila: "If mommy isn't here with us right now, then we can play with our little sister however we want, right?"

Marcus: "Oh, yes" he replied, smiling slyly.

Since little Massiel wasn't sleeping and the twins wanted to play with her, Mila and Marcus got out of bed and then, very carefully, picked up their little sister. The twins had seen a cartoon where two brothers played with their little sister, placing her in a dresser drawer, then closing it and immediately opening it again, causing the little girl to laugh. That's exactly what Mila and Marcus had in mind. Without making too much noise, Marcus opened the bottom drawer of the dresser, then took out some of his mother's clothes so he could put little Massiel inside. As soon as the drawer was ready for the baby, Mila placed their little sister inside, and then they closed the drawer. Together they then immediately reopened it and when Massiel saw them making funny faces, she started laughing and that was the first time she had done that.

Andy: "What's going on?" she asked before getting in the shower.

Mila: "Nothing. We just managed to make our little sister laugh"

Marcus: "Don't worry, Mom, just take a shower" he said as he and his twin closed the drawer again, only to reopen it again to make their little sister laugh again.

Andy: "Okay, but you two won't cause any trouble"

Mila: "We promise" she replied as they continued playing like that.

Marcus: "What are you looking for, mom?"

Andy: "Where's your sister?" she asked, alarmed.

Marcus: "Oh, her. Our little sister is sleeping in the drawer" she replied, pointing to the drawer, which Andy immediately opened.

Andy: "Why did you put her in there?" she asked, picking up little Massiel.

Mila: "Because we were playing, she was having fun, laughing, but then she fell asleep, and so we left her in there so as not to wake her"

Andy: "Okay, but why was the drawer closed? It's not very safe to do so" she said, trying to say the right words so as not to scare the children if she told them it was dangerous.

Marcus: "Because the light from the TV was hitting her face and she could have woken up"

Andy: "I understand, but.. you were really good and sweet to her, but can you promise me something?" the twins nodded. "Promise me you'll find another way to play with her. You two could have hurt yourselves closing the drawer"

Mila: "Okay, Mom, we promise"

Marcus: "Okay, I promise" he replied, smiling. "But will you help us find more games to play with her?"

Andy: "Of course I'll help" she replied, sitting on the bed, and the twins sat down beside her. "Shall we look for a book to buy where we can find inspiration for the games?"

Mila: "Can we add some coloring books too?" Andy nodded. "Then yes" she replied happily.

After Andy put little Massiel to sleep in her crib, she grabbed her laptop and then, together with the twins, they looked up what she'd mentioned earlier. As always, Mila and Marcus had chosen several coloring books, and Andy had even found a book suitable for children with tips for all three of them to play together. After Andy finished ordering, she went into the kitchen with the twins because, as usual, they were hungry. After preparing them a small snack, the twins sat on the couch to eat it while watching a cartoon on TV, while Andy went back upstairs to check on little Massiel. Meanwhile, Robert also came home, and as soon as he closed the door, Mila and Marcus ran over, and Robert picked them up.
