Wynnie: Mom, you’re a genius! This is such a great idea!
Diana: Of course I am!
Wynnie: It’s been so long. Why hasn’t Katie appeared?
Diana: Could she have been abducted by Samuel? If so, shall we call the police to capture that rascal?
Wynnie: Let me drag someone in for questioning.
With that, Calvin was dragged into the conversation.
Calvin: Wow! Mom, you guys made a group chat behind my back?
Wynnie: Do you know what your son has done?
Diana: Do you have any idea?
She added a stern-looking emoji behind that.
Calvin: I don’t know! I don’t know anything! I’m on your side! I’m not with that rascal!
Wynnie: Mom, he got the code word correct. Looks like he’s really on our team.
Calvin: I’ve always been on your side, okay?
Kathleen could not help but laugh when she read their conversation.
They were all so adorable.
Wynnie: Have you checked the trending news?
Calvin: Yes, I’ve seen them. I’m working on public relations.
Wynnie: Are you guys trying to clear their names?
Calvin: No. We want to skew the discussion in favor of Kate. We’ll talk about how much she has suffered the whole time she was supporting Samuel behind the scenes.
Wynnie: Great! Keep it up! Whatever you do, remember that your son is in the wrong no matter what.
Calvin: Got it, Wynnie! What about the crystal ornament that you broke last time? Are we blaming that on Samuel? We might as well make him the scapegoat for that too.
Wynnie: Where’s your dignity?
Diana: It was probably thrown away along with his placenta.
Calvin was rendered speechless.
Kathleen laughed her head off.
