He was coming home

58

"Did you get the ice cream?" I ask dad walking into the kitchen

"I did but then daughter in law stole it" he replies

"You going to get more?" I ask him and he shakes his head

"To expensive to buy a lot in one day, we'll have ice cream another day" he says

"You do remember that your rich right?" I ask to make sure he remembers

"Yes but that doesn't mean we can easily spend all the money we want, it's could saving for the unforeseeable future" he replies

"That's boring and pointless" I say

"Why pointless?" He asks putting the food into the cupboard

"Because since you don't know what's going to happen until he future, you can't assume you could go broke. For all we know we could be even richer, like a billionaire" I reply

"You keep believing that, you'll understand if you become rich one day" he chuckles

"Understand what?" Seth asks walking in

I thought he left with Charlie and the crazy women

"That money doesn't grow on trees" dad tells him

"It could, it's just that no one's found a moment tree yet or figured out how to create one yet" I point out

"Okay Ms know it all, how about you find a movie for your brother to watch until dinner" dad tells me

"Can't he find his own movie?" I ask

"Yeah!" Seth replies enthusiastically

"No" dad says firmly

"He's ten or something, he can choose" I say not wanting to have to do anything that involves Seth

"I'm eleven and a half" he corrects me with a informative nod

"I'd rather he didn't, he'll choose one of Charlie's old movies" dad tells me

"Fine" I say smiling

He can't complain f I choose one of Charlie's old movies, he didn't exactly say that Seth didn't watch those ones, just that he rather that he didn't.

"Sit and be quiet" I tell him like he's a toddler

"Shut up" he orders

"I can turn it off anytime I want to you know" I remind him

"What's he watching?" Dad asks me when I walk back into the kitchen

"Toy story 3" I lie

Not even close. Seth will probably have nightmares all night tonight but that's not my problem at all

"I'm going back to my room" I say before dad realises that I'm lying

"Have fun" he tells me and I nod before walking away quietly

What to do now, I could prank call Clarisse or Patrice or whatever her name actually is

She'll never know it was me. I think. I probably shouldn't just in case she finds out it was me and then tries to murder me in my sleep

I'll just call nub exams so know d never answers and leave a message for him saying that it's his girlfriend and then trouble will happen
