บท 79: First House Visit

As they were eating their amply-seasoned breakfast noodles deliciously, they heard the scuffles upstairs and soon saw the little heads peeking down from upstairs. 

They looked adorable with their half-dazed eyes, poking their heads down, and trying to see what the adults were up to. 

Both Harold and Eugene stood up to take the children and guided them in the circle for breakfast. 

It was just that Theodore was a little big man and didn't want to get carried anymore. After all, sister Maya was just a teeny bit older but she didn't get carried around. 

Seeing him struggle, Eugene then let him down as soon as they got to the lowest step of the stairs. He immediately ran to where the center of 'activity' was (food), and his feet pitter-pattered on his way there.

It was just that as he ran to the pot he missed a step and tripped. 

Thud!

"Oh, no, Theo!" Sheila exclaimed, and the adults quickly stood up to assist him.
