The Good Hair Family Sitcom

S1 E13.2: Father's Day

Andreas's POV

While Brayden, Jayda, and I are walking through the grocery store, the promotions in the health and hygiene area catch Brayden's attention. He stops at one isle and picks up a bottle of shampoo for thinning hair to read it, causing Jayda and I to have to stop along with him.

"It's on sale," Brayden says. "Should I stock up now? My teachers all say I have an old mind. Do you think I'll get old hair sooner?"

"You're twelve," I respond.

"You didn't answer the question, but I suppose that's not surprising, considering your test scores."

Just for that, I reach over to the shelf on my left and grab a small box which I then shove into my brother's hand.

"You should probably get some of this instead," I say.

Brayden reads the box. "Cream for reducing inflammation in bruises."

At that, Jayda grabs the box from Brayden and puts it back on the shelf, saying, "Okay, stop with the weird threats, and come on."

Brayden and I end our disagreement and follow Jayda toward the isle with the marshmallows. I can't see it, but somehow she has the vision of a hawk and spots her goal from the other end of the isle.

"Good. There's one bag left," she says.

I stay behind her as she power-walks ahead, but I get sucked in by the sight of a bag of multi-coloured mini marshmallows on the way.

"Hey," I say, picking one of the bags up. "We could get rainbow marshmallows instead, 'cause, you know, gay."

"Those are tiny," Jayda responds. "Plus, my papa prefers vegan ones, and he's one of the two gays. We'll get the vegan ones after, but right now we need regular-sized normal marshmallows."

"Fair."

When she spins back around to grab the marshmallows, she freezes, and I realize why when I see that the last bag is gone from the shelf.

She's shocked. "Who—?"

Then she sees a lady a little bit farther down the isle, and she's holding the bag that Jayda was about to take.

"Damn," I mumble. "We can go somewhere else."

"Screw that," Jayda denies. "I did not walk all the way here for nothing."

"You didn't," I state. "We still have to get graham crackers and chocolate and—and you're not listening," I breathe. "Cool."

Jayda struts up to the woman with the marshmallows and taps her on the shoulder. The woman's blonde bob swings as she turns around to see Jayda.

"Excuse me," Jayda says, "but I was about to take those marshmallows."

The lady just gives Jayda a smirk, responding, "Then why are they in my basket?"

Oh, shit.

Jayda's eyes narrow, and I can feel her rage boiling as she snaps, "Oh, you wanna play that game, Karen?"

Brayden suddenly appears beside me, asking, "Should I call a lawyer?"

Cyrus's POV

TJ and I are in the kitchen about to make our lunch when Wyatt comes out of the door from the basement and begins heading toward the other staircase.

"He has to remember," I whisper to TJ.

"We could ask him."

"No. That makes it seem like we expect something from him."
