"And why in the hell do you have to be this way?" I hissed once I stomped my way back into the house after EJ's big mouth had spilled very important beans to our children. Ethan had to bribe them by offering to take them out for ice cream and that finally added some calm.

I had spent hours perfectly packing all of Ethan's juice boxes according to color and flavor. He had his own high shelf of juice boxes because those were his big boy juice boxes.
He was just tired of the children stealing his drinks every five minutes.
