“I heard on the news today that the doctors at the local science facility has finally figured out why the berry children born here are all vanilla. Isn’t that exciting?”

“Hold on. You’re saying that they found a way to fix us?”

“Yes! At least most of you, anyways. Some cases are proving to be a bit more difficult than others. It turns out it was something in the local water supply and some children were impacted more than others depending on where they were located.”

This is my quick and dirty explanation for the sudden appearance of berry children in Willow Creek, lol. ❤

“Fawn, I thought about what you said. If you think we can still keep up with our bills while you work from home, then go ahead and do it.”

“Thanks, hun. I think we can make it work. And if we can’t, what’s the worst that could happen?”

“Our water and power could get shut off…”

“So? Then I go back to my old job and make enough to get them turned back on again. No big deal, right?”
