Back To School

"You're sure you all have everything you need?" Becky Torres asked her four children sitting around the breakfast as she placed cheerios on Adams high-chair tray. "Yes Mom." They all responded. Bethany was going into grade 11, Jon and Ben were going into grade 9 and Sarah into grade 4.

Drew came down the stairs wearing a suit with a back slung over his shoulder. "Morning Kids." He said as we walked over to Becky and kissed her. "Ewwwe" was the sound the four oldest Torres children made. "We are trying to finish are breakfast without barfing here." Jonathan said. "Ha-ha very funny." Drew said as he sat down next to Adams high chair. "Hey champ." He said to Adam as he patted his head. "Daddy cero." Adam said as he held his hand with some cheerios for Drew. "Thankyou." Drew said as Adam fed him the cheerios. "Drew don't forget you have to pick up Sarah and Adam after schools over I have a counselling session at the fire hall today." Drew nodded and asked "Want me to cook as well?" Drew asked as he placed his dishes in the dish washer. "Yes because I don't when I'll be home it all depends on how many of the fire fighters want a session or not." Becky answered. "OK Drew replied.

"Kids its 7:45 you better go get dressed for school." Drew said. All four placed their disses in the dish washer and ran up the stairs yelling dibs on the bathroom.

About 25 minutes later Bethany came down in a very short skirt and a crop top. Drew took one look at his oldest daughter and immediately went into protective dad mode. "Absolutely not, there is no way you are wearing that to school." "Oh come on dad it's not that bad plus Cameron thinks I look hot in it." Cameron was Bethany's boyfriend for about 7 months now. He had Asperger's and was very smart but struggled socially. Bethany met him in history last year and when they became friends after working on a project with him. They started dating on Valentine's Day and the rest of the family really liked him even Drew.

"So if Cameron said you looked hot in a Bunny costume would you wear it? Drew asked. Bethany rolled her eyes and looked at her mother for help. "I'll tell you what put a cardigan on and you can wear the skirt." Becky said "Thanks Mom." Bethany said as she ran upstairs to change.

John and Ben came down the stairs wearing matching blue shirts and beige shorts. "Why are you guys wearing the same clothes?" Drew asked "Because we thought it would be fun." Ben answered "Boys do not be messing your teachers by identifying yourself as your brother." Becky said. "We won't mom." John said. They boys grabbed their stuff and went outside to the van. "You know they will don't you?" Drew asked his wife. "Yes but at least I can say I told them not to." Becky said. "My lunch is all packed." Sarah said walking in. "Let me see it." Drew said and looked inside her lunch bag. "Sarah you don't need a donut, a bag of cookies and a chocolate bar put one of them back and take a yogurt and apple instead." Drew said. "Okay daddy." Sarah said and switched her food before going outside with Bethany who had come down wearing a cardigan. Becky followed them outside and took a picture before coming back inside

"Okay 4 kids are outside and ready to go so we are off." Drew said grabbing his laptop bag. "Bye babe have a good day love you." They kissed and Becky said "Love you too." Before Drew open the door and left. Becky saw that Drew forgot his keys. She held them in her hand until he came back 30 seconds later and took his keys from his smirking wife. "Bye Becks, bye Adam." he called as he left.

Becky turned around to look at her youngest son who was still in his highchair covered in applesauce. "You mister should be lucky you don't have to go to school just yet." She said as she picked him up. "Mama Mess" was Adams reply and Becky laughed as she took him up to bathe him.

Between school and work I don't know how quick updates will be but all my stories will be updated whenever I have time. To all my fellow Canadians happy first day back at school.
