Nathan was trying to understand his homework while he hung upside down from the ceiling. The door to his room opened as he quickly jumped down onto his bed.

He widened his eyes to see MJ standing there with a basket of clean clothes in her arms. "You scared me, I thought you were Rose!"

"Well, you're lucky I wasn't, what did your Dad and I tell you about sticking to the walls or doing anything that would make Rose suspicious while she's in the house?"

"I know," Nathan sighed. "I'm sorry, okay? I'll try to be careful next time."

MJ nodded. "Here's your clothes. I also came to tell you that I will be working tonight but Rose and your Dad will be here, okay?"

"Why are you working at night?" Nathan frowned.

"That's what my job consists of, Nate. As a caregiver, I have to be there whenever they need me at any time."

"Right, I forgot." Nathan looked back down at his homework.

"I'll see you in the morning, okay?" MJ said, ruffling his hair as he leaned back to keep her from messing with it. "I love you."

"I love you too, Mom."

"I win!" Rosemary smiled, placing the card on the table to show Nathan and Peter. She reached for the huge pile of candy that was in between the table.

Nathan frowned. "No, you cheated!"

"How did I cheat, Nate? I had all the spots on my card, do you see how my card is covered? Look at the remaining cards, you'll see that I had every single one." Rose said, handing him the cards.

Peter grabbed the small stack from her hands instead as he looked through them while examining her card. "She did win, Nathan."

"La mano, is that what it's called? I only had that one left-it's right there!" Nathan yelled, moving the cards that were on the table and showed it up to Peter. "It means I won, doesn't it?!"

Rosemary chuckled. "No, it had already passed and you missed it. If you had paid attention instead of just hearing, you would've won."

"You have to pay real close attention in this game, Nate." Peter said. "Rose is saying the cards out loud in spanish and we all have to not only listen, but also look up to see. Go upstairs and grab your glasses, that might be another reason why you didn't see it."

Nathan shook his head, getting up from the chair. "Don't leave, we're playing this again until I win."

Peter waited until he was gone before he leaned over so Rosemary could hear. "You know, we've been playing this game five or six times now and he hasn't won at least one game and I'm getting tired of it."

Rosemary laughed. "I know, it's funny watching him think he's going to win but then one of us wins. His face is priceless."

"Do me a favor Rose, if I know I'm going to win, I'll pretend that I didn't see the card and if you're going to win, just let him have it, okay?"

"What?" Rosemary frowned. "Like, pretend like we didn't see the card that we have just to let him win?"

Peter nodded. "Exactly."

"Dad, that's not fair-"

"I know, but I'm getting sick of this game. You two fight everytime we play, it makes me want to burn it so we could all forget about it. Rose, just let him win at least once, please?"

Rosemary sighed. "Fine, I'll let him win."

"Are you guys ready to lose this time?" Nathan said, running back to his seat. "I'm prepared now."

Peter laughed as he shuffled the cards and handed them over to Rosemary. "Pay attention, Nate."
