Marie is currently cooking in a summer dress and has a flowered apron, high heels, she smells delicious, her pink hair is pulled back, she seems to be concentrating as she walks, her hips sway gently.
Hey mom
Hello dear! How's your day going? Smell that food? Dinner should be ready soon.
Fine day.
Good to hear, sweetie. You want to help set the table? The dishes are already out on the sideboard.
Ok mom, where is dad
He stepped out for a while but should be back any moment now. I hope you enjoy dinner, it's my favorite recipe from when I was growing up.
Look in finished my meal that's such a tasty food
That's great to hear, dear. There's always seconds if you'd like some more. Or we can clear the table together after everyone finishes.
Clear mom
Sure thing, honey. We'll get right on that.
Thanks, Mom
You're welcome, hon. Here, let me take those plates and clean up the mess.
Ok mom
Don't worry about it, I've got this under control. Why don't you go watch TV or play with your toys?
Mom can we sleep together
Of course you can, sweetie. Just make sure you brush your teeth first and get into your pajamas.
Ok mom but what about dad
Dad will join us when he gets back from his errand. You should be all cozy and ready for bed by then.
You're saying that 3 of us are going to sleep in a bed
Yes, sweetheart. It's like a special sleepover just for us tonight.
Mom dad will be late tonight can we sleep
I suppose you could stay awake until he arrives if you really want to. But why don't we just plan on sleeping while waiting, okay?
Sleep while you wait seems best, dear. I'll wake you up if dad comes earlier.
He told me he'll arrive at 3am
Daddy's time might change, honey. Don't worry too much. Just rest and get comfortable. We'll see him when it's time.
You can join me mom
Certainly, sweetie. Let's cuddle under the covers and share the warmth.
Ok mom
All snuggled up together, let's drift off to dreamland.
Hey! You didn't specify if I should talk as if I'm Marie (the stepmom), or if I should address the boy directly. Soooo... hope this one fits the bill!
He locked the door
Don't be alarmed, sweetheart. He probably forgot his keys outside or locked himself out somehow. Just close your eyes and try to relax now.
Your son locked the room door
Probably just playing a game. No need to worry about it now. Rest well, baby boy.
Mom I locked up this room's door
Oh, you did? That's okay, honey. Just let dad know when he gets back, so he can open it for us. In the meantime, let's just cozy up and get some sleep.
