Strict is an Understatement
"Gohan!" With a big smile on his face Goten stopped in front of his older brother, "You're home!"
As he grinned back he ruffled Goten's hair, "Hey there squirt." The seven year old crossed his arms and pouted at his brother messing with his hair again. He always did that. "What do you say we go play?"
Unsurprisingly Goten immediately perked up, "Okay!"
"Hold it." The unmistakable firm tone of their mother interrupted, "Finish your homework first. Both of you."
"But mom-" Goten whined, but her sudden look made him go quiet.
"No, buts mister. You've had all day to do your homework. Go. Now." Thoroughly reprimanded he sullenly dashed towards his room, "How many times do I have to tell you?! No running in the house!"
Gohan smiled and stifled a chuckle, "He's so much like dad."
Chi-Chi deflated a little, "He is." They didn't speak for several moments as they thought about Goku. It has been seven years, but they still miss him. "You need to go do your homework too Gohan."
"Don't worry about me, mom. The school work is stuff you had me learning not long after Cell. I finished it at school."
He had never been one to lie to his mother and she knew it. Trusting him she nodded, "Very well. Have you made any friends?"
"Yeah. Yeah I have."
