“Don’t you have lots of fun at school? Are you going to stay at home alone while your brothers go to school?” Arissa coaxed Jesse exasperatedly.

“No. They don’t have to go to school too. We’ll stay at home and play!” Jesse shook her head as she answered, her eyes still closed.

“Mommy, is Jesse awake?”

“No. She’s still asleep.” Arissa started brushing her teeth.

“I’ll wake her up.” Jasper ran to the room with his toothbrush in hand.

“Jesse, wake up. Everyone will be leaving soon and you’ll be the only one left at home. What if someone comes and takes you away?” Jasper said as he pulled at the blanket.

“No!” Jesse cried sleepily.
