Sarah and Felix were being watched by Brenda's son, Barry, who had come home recently to help with the "family business"
"Do what you want, kids. I'll be outside... in the shed. Try not to set the house on fire"
Barry left them to their own devices all morning, while he did what he had to do.
They'd played hide and seek, knuckle buster and ended up finding a nice piece of cardboard to use, for sledding down the two flights of stairs connecting the downstairs and upstairs.
"My arse hurts. Go again, Fe..."
It was all going well, until Sarah thought that Felix could use an extra boost on this particular turn of his...
"I'll help, you'll take off with rocket power this time"
Felix didn't like the sound of that but when Sarah got a thought in her head, there was nothing that could stop her
"Ready?"
"No. Sarah, don't push me"
Mrs S was just returning from house hunting, when she heard Felix screaming from the bottom of the top set of stairs, she rushed to check on him, seeing Sarah on the landing looking down at the whole mess
"Sarah, what the hell happened!?"
She turned to run into her bedroom, when Barry and Brenda appeared on the stairs asking what all the commotion was about, stopping Sarah in her tracks
"I didn't mean too. We were sledding..."
They all looked up at her, then back to Felix who was in tears and had inch deep gash on his head
"Sledding, inside the house?" Brenda questioned
"I cannot belie-" sighed Mrs S
"I told them to stay out of trouble" Barry said in defence of leaving the two small children alone
Sarah slowly made her way down to the group, hesitant about what her punishment would be
"I'm sorry, Felix" she said as she reached for his hand to comfort him
