"All right so they're going to practice in your car, agreed?" Patrick inquired innocently giving his wife a fully dimpled smile.
"No, they're using your car."
"But my car is nicer then yours!"
"Is not." Robin retorted sound like a fairly intelligent two year old.
"Mom, Dad, guess what!" Maddie exclaimed rushing down the stairs so fast that she would have fallen had Teddy not been a step behind her and thus grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back onto the step.
"Trying to break another ankle?" Her brother inquired.
"The first one wasn't my fault." Maddie defended walking down the last few steps into the kitchen and over to her parents who looked her over quickly reassuring themselves that she hadn't broken anything…again.
"I'm telling you our children are perhaps the clumsiest people I've ever met…" Robin informed her husband.
"Nah…Robbie's not clumsy." Patrick replied.
"Fine Maddie and Teddy are."
"Much better." Patrick responded.
"We're right here you know…" Maddie cut in.
"They get it from your side of the family you know." Robin informed the brain surgeon whilst completely ignoring her daughter.
"How do they get it from my side of the family?" Patrick asked indignantly.
"Hello…everyone in my family is either a super-spy or a police officer; do you honestly think clumsy people could be stealthy? They'd all be dead if they were!" Robin answered."
"…So…" Patrick retorted.
"Again, we're right here." Maddie put in.
"We're not that clumsy." Teddy grumbled.
"Yes, you really are." Robbie interrupted coming into the kitchen and sliding into a seat at the island in the center of the kitchen. Maddie and Teddy turned to him and awarded him with identical glares.
"Besides, your father told me that between you and your Mother always getting injured one way or another he was afraid to leave the two of you alone." Robin added triumphantly continuing to ignore the three fifteen year olds.
"…" Patrick gaped at his wife and decided that he would take the high road (he had no good retort, actually) and end the conversation.
"What were you saying before you fell down the stairs?" Patrick asked his daughter quickly changing the subject.
"You fell down the stairs?!" Robbie asked turning his head to his right so that he was making eye contact with his sister.
"ALMOST, almost fell down the stairs!" Maddie replied.
"Yeah, and you would have if I hadn't caught you in time…" Teddy interrupted.
"Wait, you actually managed to catch her and the two of you didn't end up tumbling face first down onto Mom's nice wooden floors?"
"We're not that bad." Teddy said scowling slightly.
"Suuuuuuure." Robbie replied drawing out the word to aggravate his siblings.
"We're still alive aren't we?" Maddie asked justifying the eldest of the triplets response.
"Well, yes, but not for lack of accidents…" Robbie replied. "I swear the two of you should never be left alone."
"Ha-Ha." Maddie replied her voice laced with sarcasm.
"I was being serious." Robbie answered. Sensing that the argument was about to escalate Patrick quickly interrupted.
"Let's go, we haven't got all day." He said steering them out of the kitchen down the hall and out the door as the triplets conducted their usual argument about why Maddie had to sit in the middle. When they were all settled in the car and driving toward the hospital Robin turned back to Maddie.
"What were you telling us, sweetie?"
"Oh…" Maddie scrunched up her face trying to remember. "Oh yeah! Nessa and Jeremy are going to meet us there…Courtney and Jason were going to take them driving for practice today and then I told Nessa that we were practicing at the hospital and she told her mom and dad so now they're coming to!" Maddie explained triumphantly.
"Great." Robin said trying to sound like she didn't think they were going to die in a car accident caused by five teenagers. Patrick leaned over and whispered something hysterically which sounded distinctly like 'Do we have our will made out?
