"Son, are you ok?"
His mother's concerned voice broke him out of his thoughts.
His eyes flickered over to behind his oldest sister's chair, where she was busy trying to feed her newborn daughter, to the angel standing watch over all of them.
She shot him a smile. "You should eat those beans, your mother spent a lot of time on them."

"Hey!" His eldest sister chided their younger sister who had uttered the comment. "Little ears are present!"
"Oh he'll have to learn about this stuff eventually," said sister reasoned, glancing over at the young boy sitting beside his mother.
"I have news!" His youngest sister boasted as all in the room turned their attention toward her.
She glowed as she soaked up the attention. "My American friend is coming to visit! You know, the one who I met when I studied in the States over the summer?"
"What? Oh, why didn't you tell me sooner! The house is in a state, I don't have the guest bedroom prepared and…"
"An American? Visiting this place? Why?"
"What's she like? What was her name again?"
"I think it was-"
As the family descended into frenzy over their unexpected guest, a vision came to the angel.
She grinned.
He didn't notice.
The crazy is starting, folks! ;)
Until then, may you have a nice day/night wherever you may be! And please, take care of one another.
