If Buck heard his kids' favorite wind-up toys go off one more time, he was going to take drastic measures, like breaking them, throwing them away, and blaming it on the dog. Tommy couldn't help laughing when the plan was proposed to him. "Sweetheart, I know we can't take much more of this - and this is Howie and Maddie's fault one hundred percent, we knew they'd get their revenge somehow - but they'll find something new to play with soon."

Buck scowled at him. "You better be right, Thomas."

"Oh, you're full naming me now. I must really be in trouble."

Their conversation was interrupted when their toddler excitedly grabbed her favorite stuffed animal and launched it at them.
