Chapter 6
That night, Vincent and his family sat together at dinner to do what they usually would do which was to talk about their day.
"So how was your day, Ma?" Amy said pouring herself a drink.
"The usual," Maxine said, "What I'm really interested in knowing is how was Vincent's. How was your first day back at teaching, dear?"
"Ummm…it was okay…." Vincent mumbled.
"Do you actually give adults homework?" Lauren asked curious.
"Lauren," Amy warned her afraid of what the conversation would be leading to.
"Sorta…sometimes," Vincent said finishing up his potatoes.
"I hate homework," Lauren mumbled.
"Lauren," Amy said, "What did I tell you about using that word?"
"But you use it all the time!" Lauren whined.
Everyone went silent.
"She's got a point dear," Maxine said to her daughter,
"Mom!" Amy exclaimed, "I don't believe this!" She then looked back at Lauren and said, "Speaking of homework, you have some homework to do so go upstairs and do it."
"I hate you!" Lauren said running up the stairs and slamming the door to her room.
"Excellent parenting skills, dear," Maxine proclaimed while Amy just glared.
"Don't worry. She'll get over it…eventually," Gillian said giving some food to Walter while Ned helped himself to some more fries.
"I'm going to talk to her," Amy said marching to the stairs.
The phone then rang and Peter yelled, "I'll get it!"
"Amy, stop! She needs room to calm down!" Gillian said running after her.
That left Vincent alone with Maxine, Ned, Kyle, and Walter who were all silent.
"So…" Maxine said helping herself to some more salad, "Did you have a good class of students?"
Vincent glared at her.
"Oh, I almost forgot how different classes are nowadays."
"If you don't mind, I've got to go prepare tomorrow's assignment," Vincent said.
"I'll help with the dishes Maxine," Kyle said getting up.
Vincent just smiled, said goodbye to Ned and Walter, and walked away.
