Punishment was lifted and Zander and I looked like that couple from a romantic movie. You know where the girl goes running and the guy picks her up and swings her around? Yeah that was so not us. This was us.

Zane walked by, "Zander, put Avery down," as he was putting some notes down in his phone

Zane walked by, "Zander, put Avery down," as he was putting some notes down in his phone.

"Dad, you don't understand, it's been a long two weeks," he groaned.

"You'll survive," he yelled from the kitchen.

Goldie walked in, "do you think you can go to the store and get some Halloween candy," she asked him as he set me down.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, why?"

"Mom, no one says you have to pass out candy," he said and Goldie and I looked at him. "What?"

"Listen cheesehead, we are so passing out candy and dressing up too," I told him emphatically.

"Says who?"

"Says me," I said matter of fact.

"And if I don't," he said defiantly.

"Then no kisses for you," I said with a smirk.

"That's a low blow," he said.

"Oh well," I shrugged as I started strolling out the door only to have him run after me and toss me over his shoulder. He carried me to his bike and set me on the bike. Then he climbed on. He handed me a helmet and I put it on. Then he put on his.

He jumped the bike and pulled out of the driveway. We drove to the store and pulled into the parking lot. We got off his bike and he slid his hand into mine as we walked inside.

Now you think we would be mature about going into a store. Have you met us? There is nothing mature about us. This is how it ended up with us.

What can I say, we like to enjoy ourselves

When we got to the checkout, they made me get out of the cart. Phooey. We loaded up the belt and stood there as they rung up everything. Then we heard people arguing.
