Most people think Saki's family is weird.
She considers them as she sucks on a spoonful of cherry shaved ice. Papa is chasing a giggling Mama down the beach. His back is glittery in the sun—Saki knows this is because she begged and begged until Mama bought the sparkly kind of sunblock, then told her to keep it a secret from Papa to let it be a surprise. Now they both sparkle all over with glitter and drops of water in their hair, and Papa seems to be threatening to tie Mama up with her own bikini and throw her to the sharks. Mama jumps over a sandcastle with a whoop, but Papa is not so lucky and goes sprawling. Then they are both being chased by some old lady who is threatening to beat them senseless with her cane for ruining her masterpiece, and Mama is laughing so hard that Papa has to scoop her up like a princess and carry her after the second time she trips. They both collapse under the umbrella next to Saki, Mama squeaking when Papa pulls her down on top of him. She gives him a loud, smacking kiss before turning to Saki and grinning. "Ooh, cherry ice, gimme!" Papa grunts as she bounces up to sit on his stomach and take the treat into her own hands. The angry old lady regards them scandalously, Mama finishes off the dessert, and Papa's laugh is wheezy because he still has Mama sitting on him. Saki giggles as Mama pulls her into her own lap and sticks another spoonful of the melting ice into her mouth.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" the old lady calls, waving her cane. "Carrying on like that in public!"
All of them ignore her. After all, most people think Saki's family is weird.
Saki thinks they're wonderful.
