“Today’s the day you’re getting your new sister, isn’t it?”

“Yes, one of my moms is picking her up right now.”

“I hear that younger siblings are a pain in the butt. They always take your stuff.”

“Yeah, that part sucks, but you don’t have to do as many chores because you can make them do it.”

“Very true.”

“Ginny, how about you take a break from that for a second and come have a chat.”

“Okay.”

“Your mother and I have been talking about having someone new join the family. How would you feel about having a little brother or sister?”

“I’ll be okay with it as long as they’re good at chess. I keep beating Alex when we play and it’s no fun any more. Also, you and Mom need to get better work schedules. I’ve pretty much raised myself.”

“So that is your list of demands, huh?”

“Yep!”
