The next morning Naomi woke up with a smile on her face leaving Nyla suspicious. Naomi ran down the stairs to tell Lynn what was going to happen. Nyla followed.
Naomi: Good morning mama!
She kissed Lynn on the cheek and that caught Lynn off guard.
Lynn: What's going on?
Naomi: This guy I talk to said he wants to meet you and dad today. He's coming over at six.
Lynn: David has to work today and I need to check on some paperwork at the courthouse.
Naomi: Around what time?
Lynn: I'm leaving at twelve. I don't know when I'll be done. I'll have to pick up Josh from Mama's house and you know she likes to talk.
Naomi: Then me, Ny, and Dev will watch him.
Lynn raised her eyebrow.
Lynn: You must really like this boy.
Naomi: Yeah, I do.
Lynn: Alright. Is he just coming over or are we going somewhere?
Naomi: He's just coming over.
Lynn: Fine with me. Clean up the house while I'm gone.
Naomi, on her way back to her room yelled, "We will!"
Nyla: Sooo, who is he?
Naomi: Ty.
Nyla smiled.
Nyla: I knew you loved him.
Naomi smiled and walked off.
Nyla: Can you feed Josh?
Naomi: Yeah, if you change his diaper.
Nyla: I'll feed him.
The girls went about their business until twelve noon. Lynn left the house leaving them to their chores. She left separate lists for the girls.
Naomi:
-Mop the kitchen
-Sweep the garage
-Clean the windows
-Wash the dishes
-Vacuum the living room and hallways
-Dust the bookshelves
Nyla:
-Clean the bathroom (counter, sink, shower, and toilet)
-Fold the clothes
-Take out the trash
-Dust the end tables
-Make your bed
-Clean the computer desk
P.S.- Do NOT take your eyes off of Josh!
The girls headed downstairs to check the list. Their reactions were priceless.
Naomi: She really got me fucked up.
Nyla: Exactly! Is this a joke?
Naomi: Mop? MOP?! Since when have I ever mopped?
Nyla: I have never had to clean the whole damn bathroom. This is crazy. I should call Devon so he could come help or at least watch Josh.
Naomi: Call him.
Nyla called Devon, but he couldn't come over, because he was in the middle of working.
