Hot Egg Delivery

“Tim, come here!” Arissa called her son in a soft voice.

“Why you didn’t tell us that you were going to the mall, Mommy? Do you shop in secret?”

Jasper’s feet swung irritably as he voiced his displeasure.

Arissa laughed. “I just went running a quick errand of getting some clothes. We’d take all day if I were to bring you kids with me.”

Oliver grinned. “We’re not slowing you down, are we? We just wanted to come with you, that’s all!”

Arissa knocked Oliver on the head playfully as she beckoned Tim to come over.

“Come try these on, Tim. Let’s see if they fit.”

“You should have brought Tim to shop for his clothes, Mommy.” Zachary pulled Tim forward as he spoke. “That way, you wouldn’t have to worry about whether or not they fit. What a hassle it would be if you had to return to the shop to get them changed if they didn’t fit Tim!”

“It was a last-minute plan, all right?”

Arissa smiled helplessly at his indignance as she pulled Tim over and pulled a shirt over his head.

“Is it a good fit?” she asked, gazing at her son with a twinkle in her eye as she smoothed the front of his shirt.

Tim chanced a sheepish glance at Arissa before hurrying away.

Stunned by his sudden movement, Arissa’s eyes followed Tim.
