Sssssooo, you interject as you just barely manage to avoid picturing your mom pole dancing, you barely talked to them since <span class="mu-i">You-Know-What</span>--what were they doing when the shit-
“Hey, LANGUAGE!” Scolds your father! “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”
Well not-
“Because <span class="mu-i">I</span> do and I like to keep it clean!” Your dad adds, earning a giggle from your mom! Gag me with a <span class="mu-i">SPOON!</span>
“What were you saying, dear?” Your mother asks as she gives your dad’s hand a gentle squeeze!
Well, you continue, you wanted to know what they were doing this whole time! How’d they escape!?
“Stanley, honey,” Your mom replies with a hint of worry in her voice, “We went out of town for our Anniversary, remember?”
“In <span class="mu-g">KONIGSBURG?</span>” Your dad adds with equal apprehension, “You… you agreed to watch the house, remember?”
Oh.
<span class="mu-i">Ooh</span>.
Y-yea, you stammer, th-that was j-just a j-joke! H-HaHA! A-April F-fool’s…W-waka waka!
No dice–your parents see through your lie like it was made of cellophane.
“Oh jeez, Stan… the <span class="mu-i">plants</span>...” Groans your father as he covers his mustachioed face with his palm.
Yea, you squeak, the uh… <span class="mu-r">THE CAT’S</span> gonna be really hungry, huh…
“Well you know what?” Your mother sighs as a smile, forced though it may be, forms on her face, “Bart’s going to be <span class="mu-i">fine</span>, sweetheart… and the most important thing is that <span class="mu-i">you’re</span> okay!”
“That’s right…” Your father nods as he gives your head a gentle pat, “Considering what could have happened, I think we came out pretty okay!”
Yea, you cough, a lump forming in your throat as you inadvertently glance at Mitzi, you were really lucky…
>CONTD.
