"Mom, your baby boy used my credit card to buy an adult video game last month," Lyra stopped hitting her brother and ratted him out.
"Mom, she is lying. We all know for a fact her credit cards are maxed out," I defended, only to hear my mom shout, waving the meat cleaver at us, "Stop it and go to your room, I will deal with you two later."
"But mom—"
"Mom—"
"Get moving!" Mary snapped her kids and then turned to Mandy, instructing, "You go change into something dry before you catch a cold."
Mandy nodded and followed her niece and nephew into the home without arguing, after nodding a goodbye to her bestie.
Mary's gaze sternly followed the trio as they entered the house and headed to their rooms. Then eyeing Lilith returning while sucking on a popcicle, she turned sharply to face Janice and extending the meat cleaver, she said, "Did you know Lilith has been carrying this thing around? What if she cut herself or others?"
