Hazel's POV
This is really getting old.
"Mom can we have Burger King for dinner?"
"Uhh well your sister-"
"No! I don't like the fries there. Can we go to Checkers?"
"We went there yesterday for-"
"No! I want a toy. Let's go to McDonalds!"
"I don't like the fries there either!"
"But I want a toy!"
"We never get to go to Burger King just because Liza won't eat the fries there!"
"EVERYONE STOP YELLING!"
"You're yelling right now."
I take a deep breath rather than saying something I shouldn't.
"We will go to all three restaurants if it means you guys will be quiet."
"Thanks mom."
I roll my eyes.
"Great use of my time, just driving you guys around to get dinner wherever you want." I say sarcastically.
"You're welcome for giving you something to do."
The irritating thing is that Graham was not being sarcastic, but if there's anything that I've learned as a mother, the best way to release irritation is to let it out silently and in this case that's to squeeze the steering wheel real tight.
Frank's POV
I look at my watch. Where are they? Hazel and the kids should be home by now. I hope nothing happened. Just as I'm about to call Hazel, they come in.
"Hey dad." they say in unison and run upstairs.
"Hey kids. What took so long? Penny woke up and she's been crying."
Hazel picks up Penny and rolls her eyes. "This is your fourth kid Frank. You should know what to do."
"I know but when they cry I get all flustered."
She gives me one of those you're ridiculous looks.
I change the subject because it's kind of embarrassing. "Well why did you guys take so long?"
Hazel gives an annoyed sigh. "We had to go to three restaurants that were no where near each other because they all wanted to go somewhere different. I try not to cave but I'm extremely tired and when they're all whining together I can't help it."
Wow. And I was feeling overwhelmed by just the baby. I really need to get up to Hazel's level on the whole parent thing.
"OKAY GUYS COME DOWN TO EAT!"
Becker, Liza, and Graham run down the steps pushing and shoving each other. They grab their food bags and start eating.
I pull all the condiments out of the fridge and put them on the table. Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and relish.
Becker and Liza both reach for the mustard and glare at each other.
"I had it first!"
"No I did!"
"Stop it you two!"
"Give it!"
"No you give it!"
Hazel and I both groan. After about a minute of bickering Becker manages to yank it from Liza.
"Ha! Got it!" He gives her an "I win" smirk and unscrews the cap.
Liza narrows her eyes at him. She grabs the bottle not realizing it was open and mustard goes everywhere. Including... On top of Hazel's head. Everyone's eyes get big and it's about to go down.
