It was a scorching hot Sunday morning at the Nordic residence. The T.V was on, the electric fan was on full power, while a Finnish man was fast asleep on a couch. The heat was so dizzying that it could make anyone drop dead, asleep. Well, if they could ignore the stickiness of their sweat.
Six year old Emil and eight year old Lukas were the only ones awake, both watching a cooking show that wasn't "verbally" meant for children.
Emil, the younger sibling, takes in every detail he could while his eyes glued on the screen. While Lukas, the oldest, choose to simply memorize the ingredients.
"Big brother," Emil called. "Do you think Mathias would get mad at us for watching T.V?"
With eyes still on the T.V, the eldest sibling replied. "Dunno."
"Well said." He said, turning back to the show.
Minutes later, the boys were caught by the other nordics and got a scolding from Mathias.
Six years later
"Hey," Emil called out to his brother. "Do you think Mathias would get mad if we stayed up late at night?"
Focusing on his work, the oldest sibling replied. "You mean, staying late at examination night? Then, yes"
"Well said." He said, turning back to his work as he fried his fish with melted butter.
"If you count getting caught without permission, yeah it would." Lukas added, placing the blueberry oatmeal pie in the oven.
"Mathias is definitely gonna kill us."
"Hm."
"And just what are you two doing?!" The door to the kitchen burst open as a furious Dane walk in.
The siblings shared a look and both mattered. "Cooking."
