For about a week after Lisa had her talk with Forest, things were running smoothly around the Sneer mansion. Cedric and Sophia each devoted one hour to Forest every day, and they even let him help with the baby sometimes. One day, the family got all dressed up so they could take the "Annual Sneer Family Portrait." They did this every year. Cedric and Sophia started the tradition when Forest had been born. Cyril was not too crazy about doing this, but he humored Cedric. At least he didn't have to pay for it, as Melissa always took the family photo.

"Okay, here's what I think we should do," Melissa said. "I think Cyril should sit in the front with both Forest and Evelyn on his lap, and Cedric and Sophia, you stand behind them."

"I've told you raccoons before," Cyril said. "There isn't enough room for both the kids on my lap. It has to be one or the other!"

"Wait a minute, Gampa," Forest said. "I think I know what to do!"

Forest climbed up on Cyril's lap, scooted over, and positioned himself on one of Cyril's legs. This left Cyril's other leg completely free, and there was plenty of room for Evelyn.

"See, Gampa?" he asked. "Now there's room for both me and Evelyn." Forest smiled, and then looked at Cedric and Sophia.

"There's always room for both of us," he said.

"That's right, Forest," Cedric said, tussling Forest's hair.

"Oh all right, all right," Cyril said. "Let's just get this show on the road."

"That's the spirit, Cyril," Melissa said, rolling her eyes.

Cedric laughed, and placed Evelyn on Cyril's lap. Cyril wrapped one arm around her, and the other around Forest, so neither of them would fall off. Cedric and Sophia then stood behind the chair, and got into position.

"We're ready Melissa," Cedric said.

"Okay, everybody!" Melissa said. "Smile!"

The group smiled (or at least Cedric, Sophia, and the kids smiled), and Melissa took the photo. Melissa decided to take another photo, but just of Cyril and the kids. She got it, and it ended up on the front page of the Evergreen Standard.

"This is a really great photo, Pop," Cedric said, as he saw the paper. "This is the best photo I've ever seen of you."

"I just hope it doesn't make me look too soft," Cyril said. "Or too old."

"Gampa!" Forest shouted, coming into the room. Evelyn was crawling in after him.

"What is it, Forest?" Cyril asked.

"I want you to tell me and Evelyn a story!" Forest shouted, pulling on Cyril's hand. "Please, please, please?"

"Oh all right," Cyril said, picking up both his grandchildren. "I'll tell you about King Midas and his golden touch."

Cyril left the room with the kids, telling them the story. Cedric and Sophia looked at each other and laughed. It looked like things were going to run a lot smoothly from that point on.

The End
