Candy crossed her arms 😤
Brain working at full speed 🧠⚙️
"WAIT," she said seriously ✋
"If she chooses me… then I'm her mother."
⏸️
One second.
Dead silence.
Then—
💥💥💥 THE HOUSE BROKE 💥💥💥
Maya burst out laughing 😂
"That's NOT how adoption works."
Cousin smiled calmly 😌
"Bold claim. Zero paperwork."
Father chuckled 🤭
"Confidence is impressive."
Mother shook her head, amused 😅
"By that logic, Ben is everyone's child."
Ben wagged his tail proudly 🐕✨
Candy nodded firmly 😤
"I choose her."
Mochi laughed helplessly 🤦♀️
"Sorry. She already chose me."
Candy gasped dramatically 😱
"WOW. Rejected at one year old."
Vani stretched in her sleep 😴
Absolutely unbothered 😌
Laughter rolled through the house 🫂😂
Because in this family,
even motherhood comes with jokes 🎭
Candy narrowed her eyes 👀
"WAIT. How did she choose you?"
Mochi smiled softly 😊
"She just… did."
Candy smirked 😏
"So Vani said,
'I choose you as my mother'?"
Mochi blinked 😐
"She can't talk."
👶 RIGHT ON CUE 👶
Vani woke up.
Big eyes 👀
Alert. Curious.
Candy gently placed her on the floor 🤲
"Okay," she said seriously 😤
"Stand here."
Vani sat. 🪑
Mother and Candy moved to opposite sides ⚔️
Like a final match 🥊
Mochi bent slightly, voice soft 🤍
"Vani…"
Candy DROPPED to her knees 💥
Eyes locked 🔒
Voice whisper-serious 😈
"Come. Here."
The room held its breath 😶🌫️
Vani looked left 👈
Then right 👉
Then crawled 🐾
Straight.
Toward.
Candy.
Candy froze 😳
Then exploded 🎉
"I WONNNN!!!"
💥💥💥 CHAOS 💥💥💥
Maya collapsed laughing 🤣
"THE BABY MADE A CHOICE."
Cousin nodded 🧐
"Data confirmed."
Father smiled proudly 😊
"Unexpected outcome."
Mother sighed, amused 😌
"So be it."
Candy hugged Vani carefully 🫂👶
Victorious grin unlocked 😎
"I AM CHOSEN."
Mochi raised both hands 😂
"Okay okay, you win today."
Vani giggled 🥰
The house accepted it
like it accepted everything else 🏠✨
Candy smirked 😈
"Ohh sorry," she said sweetly 🍭
"But she's human.
Not a giraffe." 🦒
Mochi stiffened 😤
"She's hers."
Candy tilted her head 😏
"Please. Even Laddu would choose me
if we were the same age."
She laughed.
Full villain mode 😈🦹♀️
Mochi's face turned red 🔥
"…You're impossible."
Mother narrowed her eyes 😑
"How did you become like this?"
Candy grinned proudly 😁
"Laddu taught me."
💥 LAUGHTER EXPLODED 💥
Maya clutched her stomach 😂
"OF COURSE HE DID."
Cousin nodded seriously 😌
"Influence confirmed."
Father sighed, smiling 😊
"I knew it."
Mochi looked at Laddu sleeping 😴
Then at Candy 😤
Then at Vani giggling 👶
"…I blame him," she muttered 😑
Candy suddenly adjusted her grip 🤲
One hand under Vani's head
One supporting her back
Perfect. ✔️
The room went quiet 😶
Maya's jaw dropped 😳
"…Since WHEN?"
Cousin leaned forward 🧐
"That's correct posture."
Mother blinked twice 😮
Genuinely surprised.
Candy rocked Vani gently 🤍
Slow. Steady.
Vani's eyes fluttered 😴
Then closed.
Asleep. 💤
Mochi froze 😱
"…WHAT."
Candy walked over carefully 🚶♀️
Placed Vani on Laddu's chest 💞
Vani didn't stir.
Laddu didn't wake.
🫢
Maya whispered 😶
"She put her to sleep."
Father nodded, impressed 😌
"Clean technique."
Mother looked at Candy 👀
"How do you know this?"
Candy smiled proudly 😁
"Laddu taught me."
Mochi covered her face 🤦♀️
"I leave for ONE minute—"
Candy crossed her arms 😤
"Shame on you."
"Even a kid knows more than you."
🖐️ THAP
Mochi lightly smacked Candy's butt 😈
Controlled. Perfectly aimed.
Candy yelped 😱
"HEY!!!"
💥💥💥 HOUSE EXPLODED 💥💥💥
Maya screamed laughing 🤣
"DISCIPLINE HAS BEGUN."
Cousin smiled 😌
"Corrective action applied."
Father coughed, hiding laughter 😏
"Order restored."
Mother sighed 😮💨
"Don't overtrain her."
Candy rubbed dramatically 😩
"…ABUSE."
Vani slept peacefully 😴
Laddu didn't move.
Mochi crossed her arms 😤
"Next lesson—
RESPECT."
Laddu woke up 😴➡️👀
Vani already in his arms 🤍
Candy stepped forward instantly 🤲
Without thinking, Laddu passed Vani to Candy
And walked away 🚶♂️
Silence.
Mochi turned slowly 😠
Maya inhaled sharply 😬
"Oof."
Cousin leaned back 😶
"Danger zone."
Mother closed her eyes 😑
"Candy…"
Mochi walked forward
Calm. Deadly. ⚠️
"Give. Her. Here."
Candy gulped 😰
"…Joke?"
👶 giggle
"CODE RED."
Laddu's voice echoed 🚨
Candy froze 🧊
Immediately returned Vani 🤲
No argument.
Maya whispered 😳
"Was that a spell?"
Cousin nodded 🧐
"Conditioned response."
Father crossed his arms 😌
"Effective."
Mother smiled 😊
"He trained her well."
Laddu smiled at Candy 😄
"Candy… my bestie."
Candy beamed ✨
"Laddu… my bestie."
They paused.
Then RAN 🏃♂️🏃♀️
HUGGED 💥🫂
Maya screamed laughing 🤣
"WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS?"
Cousin covered his face 🤦♂️
"This explains everything."
Father smiled 😌
"I raised one. The other came free."
Mother sighed softly 😊
"Best friends are dangerous."
An hour later…
Laddu returned holding a PS5 box 🎮🔥
Candy followed with bubble tea 🧋
They dropped to the floor
Controllers grabbed 🎮
Maya stared 😐
"…They went shopping."
Mochi crossed her arms 😤
"What is THIS."
Candy yelled 🎤
"Vani is hungry!"
Mochi ran instantly 🏃♀️
Maya laughed 😈
"And now she made YOU stupid."
Cousin nodded 😌
"Classic distraction."
Game sounds filled the house 🎮🔊
"AIM—"
"SHOT—"
"SKILL ISSUE—"
Mother sighed, smiling 😊
"At least they're home."
Mochi fed Vani quietly 🤱
"…Two children," she muttered 😑
🎮 CHAOS CONTINUED 🎮
And the house accepted it
Like it always does 🏠💛
