“Joshie!” Tyler skipped through the house, his skirt bounced on his pale legs.

He stopped at the the office door and knocked politely, but not waiting for a response before barging in. Josh looked up and groaned into the phone. He wore an expensive suit and had his hair neater than usual.

“Joshie!” Tyler whined when Josh didn’t immediately shower him with the attention he required. Josh didn’t give any more acknowledgement other than a single finger held up telling a very impatient Tyler to wait.

Tyler huffed and stomped his foot on the ground. He stood and thought for a moment. An idea sprang into his mind and he walked over to Josh.  His very brilliant idea was to completely fall on too Josh’s lap and go limp.

“Mark, can you hold for a second?” Josh asked into the phone. He set the phone on the table and looked down at the boy laying in his lap staring at him with a pout. “Tyler, I’m working what do you need? And you cannot have anymore cupcakes.”

Tyler frowned at the last part but perked up when Josh ran his hand through his fluffy hair.

“I have a surprise for you! A magical one!” Tyler beamed, he had now leapt out of Josh’s lap and held his arms open in excitement.

Josh rubbed his eyes and sighed, it was one of these days.

“I don't want princess unicorn Tyler.” Josh smiled.

“Princess Unicorn the Third, Joshie.” Tyler stated but he continued anyway, disregarding Josh’s laugh.

Tyler reached into the pocket of his skirt and pulled out a black rock with brown and white designs on it.

“This is a magical rock, it will helps with luck.” Tyler handed the rock to Josh and he took it graciously.

“Tyler” Josh paused. “That’s a rock.”

“tHatS a RocK.” Tyler mimicked sassily. He crossed his arms and stuck out his tongue.

“Okay, whatever, a magical rock. How do I know it works?” Josh asked with amusement.

“Time will tell, Joshie, time will tell.”
And with that Tyler walked out of the room.
