The Unexpected

With Papa in the hospital looking at unexpected heart surgery, Aunt Kitty about to deliver baby number three, and Dad in bed with a high fever, the Silverspoon family was already experiencing an… unconventional Christmas season. Stir in a little cabin fever for Puck and Yali, and the recipe was beginning to look a little bit like this…

 

“Boys! Your dad’s trying to nap! Stop yelling!”

“Mom! He’s jumping on my face!”

“Yali, stop jumping on Puck’s face!”

“WAAAAH!”

“Yali! Stop shaking the Christmas tree!”

“Mom! He hit me in the chest!”

“He hit me in the belly!”

“Stop hitting each other! I’m going to go check on your dad.”

 

“Collette? Did you finish all your ice cream the other day?”

“Ice cream? You can’t have ice cream! You have the FLU!”
