"Annie, have you heard about the ministers and their siblings softball
game?" Patricia asked as she took a bite.
"No I haven't. When is this supposed to be?"
"Next weekend, Morgan and his brother are going and I think it's ridiculous." Patricia said.
"Why?" Ruthie asked as she was about to take a bite as Eric and Morgan looked at Patricia.
"Well, how often do siblings talk or spend time together?" She responded then asked as the Camden siblings looked at each other as did the Hamilton siblings in a way that they were confused with what their mom had said.
"I have no problem with hanging out with Matt or Lucy or Ruthie and Simon, even the twins." Mary said as they Camden siblings nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, we just have other stuff going on."
"So daddy are you going to ask Julie if she would go play with you?" Ruthie asked as she took a sip of her drink.
"That sounded so pathetic." Keesha said.
"What sounded pathetic? Do you ever hang out with Lynn or Nigel or even John when he's not busy?"
"Okay, that's enough." Annie said in a stern voice as Eric looked at everyone kind of angrily as they continued eating while Annie fed Sam, Mary fed David.
"Daddy? Is hanging out with your siblings pathetic?"
"No, it is not pathetic." Eric says as he took a bite as well as Annie and the Hamilton parents.
"So did you ask Julie?" Annie asked as Eric just looked at her.
"Yes I did."
"What did she say?" Annie asked as the Hamilton and Camden kids looked at her then at Eric kind of uncertain as to how he was going to react and what their parents were doing.
"She said no."
"Oh she did? Why?"
"I don't know, I guess she thinks hanging out with her brother is pathetic." Eric says as the Camden kids and Hamilton kids groan.
"Mom, may I be excused." Lucy asks a few minutes later.
"Yes." Annie says as Lucy leaves then Mary, Simon also ask to be excused then are allowed to go in the kitchen.
"Mom, may I be excused?" Nigel asks.
"Yes, you may." Patricia says then Lynn, Kasha asks then are allowed to go in the kitchen as well.
All is left at the table are, the Hamilton parents, Camden parents, and the twins.
"What was all that about?" Keisha asked.
"I have no idea." Lucy replies as she and Keisha did the dishes as Mary and Nigel dried it.
"So should we call Julie and see if maybe we can talk her into going with dad?" Simon asked as he was sitting with Ruthie and Lynn, Nigel, Keisha, Lucy and Mary went to sit down.
"Daddy, already asked her and she said no." Ruthie says as she was seated at the table next to Simon, Lucy and Mary who were also sitting.
"Yeah." Lynn said as she was seated across from Ruthie. Nigel, and Keshia were sitting next to Lynn.
"How do you know that?" Lucy asked Ruthie as they were shocked that Eric really was turned down.
"Ruthie and I were near the door to the living room, my dad and your dad were upstairs in the room that had the baby monitor on and your mom as well as mine were listening to the conversation as we were close to the sliding door."
"So why did mom talk about it and say it's pathetic or whatever she said, knowing that your dad's sister already said no?" Nigel asked as his sisters, and their friends shook their head as to how their parents reacted.
"Don't forget, dad and our dad don't even know they were listened on." Mary replies.
"Your dad as well as mine will be MAD if they find out they were listened in on." Keshia says.
Few minutes later Simon and Nigel went to spy on their parents as Keesha, Lucy, Lynn, Mary and Ruthie went outside to play basketball then few minutes later Simon and Nigel joined their siblings when the Camden and Hamilton parents went in the kitchen. They told their siblings that nothing really happened, they just continued eating then they went in the kitchen when they were done but mentioned that Eric looked kind of mad, Ruthie and Lynn were talking to each other then later Lynn went to play as Ruthie went inside while Lynn, Nigel, Keesha, Mary, Lucy and Simon played. Annie had taken the twins down to sleep for the night.
Eric went outside thru the front door, noticed he needed his jacket then went to get his jacket from the closet and went outside for a walk after he gave his plate to Annie but didn't tell her that he was going out. Morgan went upstairs to see what the kids were up to but after looking in all the rooms, he went downstairs to tell his wife and her friend that they were not upstairs. Annie then went outside and saw the kids were then asked them to come in, just after they came in, the doorbell rang and Hank was at the door and Simon let him in when he went to get the door after it rang.
"Okay! Who was it?!" Hank says sternly as the Hamilton and Camdens look at him as he stood in kitchen near where the phone was a little angry.
"Who did what?" Annie asked confused.
"Who called up my wife and said her and her brother are pathetic and ridiculous for not going to a softball game and that he doesn't like her!."
"The kids were in the kitchen so someone did it. Let me see if I can find Eric, see if he did it." Annie says as she looked at them disappointed then walked upstairs.
"I did." Ruthie confessed as her siblings looked at her shocked.
"Actually, it was my fault, I was nagging her when our siblings were outside playing. I was telling her that her dad and sister were Pathetic and ridiculous and they don't like each other." Lynn said.
"But you know what? It's really my mom's fault." Keesha said as Hank looked at her.
"Yeah, she brought up the whole thing about brothers and sisters going to softball game this weekend, stated it was ridiculous." Nigel said as Hank looked at him, his anger subsided.
"Then one minute we were talking about being ridiculous to being pathetic as to why you'd want to hang out with your siblings to nearly the two families going to war." Lucy says as Hank looked at her, his anger was gone.
"I'll take Lynn and Ruthie to your home and make sure they apologize to Julie." Mary says then Annie comes downstairs.
"No I haven't. When is this supposed to be?"
"Next weekend, Morgan and his brother are going and I think it's ridiculous." Patricia said.
