Rob, Jr.: “Grandpa! Grandma!” *Runs to embrace grandparents*
Grandpa Pattz: “Robby! You’re a big boy now!”
Rob, Jr.: *Embraces Grandpa* “Yes! I am.”
Grandpa Pattz: *Embraces Robby* “Oh, how I’ve missed you so…”
Rob, Jr.: “Did you have a comfy ride from the airport to here, Grandpa?”
Grandpa Pattz: *Smiles* “Why yes, thank you.”
Rob, Jr.: “Mommy and Daddy stayed up late to steam clean the car.”
Rob: *Wide eyes*
Kristen: *Clears throat; looks at Rob*
Grandma Pattz: “Cleaned the car?” *Was sure the car needs cleaning*
Rob, Jr.: “Yes! Mommy and Daddy stayed in the garage for a long time, cleaning the car for you, Grandma. I went looking for them because little JP woke up and I found them in the garage.”
Rob: “Whoa… Robby…” *Coughs* “Why don’t you help me bring---”
Rob, Jr.: *Ignores his daddy* “…But I saw that they were using the steam vacuum--- Well, I couldn’t really see because of the steam on the windows --- but the car was rocking, so I figured mom and dad are working really HARD preparing your ride---”
Kristen: “Robby!!!”
Rob, Jr.: “Oh, that’s alright, mommy. I took care of JP.”
Grandma Pattz: “Oh, my lord.”
Rob: *Shakes head* “Um, Robby, could you check on your brothers, please…”
Rob, Jr.: “Okay, daddy…” *runs*
Grandma Pattz: “My god, Rob! Kristen! The kids notice everything. Jules called me and told me about the David and Goliath incident. You should have been more careful. ”
Rob: “Why do you think we were in the garage, mom?”
Grandpa Pattz: “Well…” *Chuckles* “I’d say that was creative!”
Rob: *Beams* “Oh, yeah!”
Kristen: *Elbows husband* “I’ll check on the kids and then start cooking. Mom and dad are joining us for dinner tonight.”
DINNER TIME
Kristen: “Baby TJ is fast asleep. Let’s eat.”
Grandma Pattz: “This is an intricate dish, Kristen.” *Nods in approval*
Rob, Jr.: “That’s because mommy makes sure she has everything in the pantry, Grandma.”
Kristen: *Kisses son’s forehead* “That’s right, son.”
Rob, Jr.: “---And daddy helps you organize the pantry all the time, huh, mommy?”
Rob: *Chokes*
Rob, Jr.: “When mommy is in the pantry, daddy asks me to look after my little brothers so he could help mommy in the pantry. I always do a good job taking care of my brothers. And daddy does a really, really good job helping mommy as well.” *Giggles* “Because when they come out from the pantry, they're sweating like pigs!”
Grandparents: *Dumbfounded*
Rob: *Clears throat* “Because it’s hot in there and I have to carry—”
Grandpa Pattz: *Threw a knowing look at Rob* “Well… when you lift boxes upon boxes of canned goods, of course you’ll, um, perspire.”
Rob, Jr.: “That’s why daddy takes his shirt off…”
Little JP: “Mommy kwisses daddy’s chest!” *Innocent eyes*
Grandma Pattz: “Rob! Kristen!”
Grandma Stew: “Really?” *Lashes sideway glance to both Rob and Kristen*
Rob, Jr.: “Oh, but there’s nothing to worry about. Daddy and mommy always take shower after their pantry time!”
Kristen: “Robby, sweetie, eat your food.”
Rob, Jr.: “Okay, mommy. This is delicious.” *Thinks* “Oh, Grandma? Grandpa?”
Grandparents: “Yes, Robby?
Rob, Jr.: “You’ll be surprised how clean our clothes are.”
Rob & Kristen: *Look questioningly at Robby*
Rob, Jr.: *Turns to grandparents* “We have another new washing machine and new dryer!”
Grandpa Pattz: “Another new washing machine and new dryer?”
Rob: “You’d better finish your food, Robby. Mommy made loquat pie for dessert.”
Rob, Jr.: *Pretends he didn’t hear his daddy* “Yeah. It just got delivered yesterday. I guess it’s working well for us. Right, mom?”
Grandpa Stew: “Why what happened to the set you purchased not even three months ago?”
Kristen: *Shrug shoulders*
Rob: *Grins* “It wasn’t, um, sturdy enough. It couldn’t hold, am, a HEAVY LOAD.”
Kristen: *Pinches hubby’s tummy*
Rob: *Laughs but kisses wife’s lips*
Little JP: “I saw mommy kwisses daddy’s showts.” *Continues to eat*
Grandparents: *Gasps*
Kristen: *Blushes* “Do you want more potatoes, JP, honey?”
Rob, Jr.: “Mommy?” *Crunches eyebrows (like his father does sometimes)*
Kristen: “Yes, sweetie?”
Rob, Jr.: “Why does daddy remove the buttons of your shirt when you do laundry together? And why do you rip daddy’s shirt?”
Rob: “Oh, um… Well, the old washing machine did that…”
Kristen: “So we bought a new one…”
Rob, Jr.: “Oh. Okay.” *Continues to eat*
Rob: *Winks at Kristen*
Rob, Jr.: *Groans*
Little JP: “It’s eawly, mommy?”
Rob: “W-What?”
Kristen: “What is it honey?”
Grandma Pattz: “Are you alright, Robby? JP?”
Little JP: “I’m not sweepy yet!” *Pouts like his daddy*
Rob, Jr.: “I haven’t even finished my food yet! And I want dessert!”
Kristen: “No one’s sending you to bed yet, Robby. What is this all about?”
Rob, Jr.: “Well…” *Scowls* “Daddy winks at you… And when he winks, that means it’s time for us to take our bath, then go to sleep! So he can kiss you all night!!!”
Rob: *Shakes head; smiling*
Kristen: “What? Does not true!”
Guest: “Yes, too! That’s why in five years you have three kids and another one on the way!”
Rob, Jr. and JP: “Uncle Tom!!!! You’re here!!!!” *Rush to jump into Uncle Tom’s arms*
Grandparents: “Well… the more the merrier!”
***THE END***
