Song: Mr. Mom
By: Lonestar
Mrs. Bennett left Jack with Jamie; she knew that the boy might open up more to her son then her. Later she try again, hopefully Jack would be more calm and more open to trust her. Though she was trying to listen to her husband, her mind wasn't all that focused on his words. That is until one phrase stood out.
"This time off is going to be great! I'll be a stay at home dad and just relax."
Mrs. Bennett couldn't help it she laughed out loud.
"What!?" Her husband asked, a bit startled by the outburst.
"You think a stay at home parent job is just relaxing?"
"Of course I'll take care of the kids." He said; worry she thought he was going to leave the children to their own devices. "But I'm looking forward to having some no stress days."
Mrs. Bennett's laughter got worse.
"What!"
"I'm sorry Elbert. But you just reminded me of my father. You know what… I think I'll go next with the storytelling.
Plates of sweets in hand everyone return to living room. Mrs. Bennett stood as the others in the room got comfortable. "This story is my father's but it applies to any parent that decides to stay home. I'm sure there's a few here who will really like this." With that Mrs. Bennett started in.

There were nods and knowing smiles throughout the audience. Mr. Bennett however looked a bit white. Seeing this brought giggles from several kids.
"Daddy scared, scared." Sophie piped in gaining more giggles.
Mr. Bennett looked up at her, and Mrs. Bennett smiled down at him.
"Okay, I hear you. I won't be lazy days but I'm still looking forward to this time with you and the kids." Mr. Bennett's words prompted another family hug.
