“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!”
