Having one child at that age was difficult enough, but Richard had several. It was a nightmare to imagine how chaotic it would be.
As they matured, their personalities became more defined, and they grew quieter. However, Richard found that his interactions with them no longer brought him joy, only frustration.

“Yeah!” The linle girl beamed, her eyes curving into crescents. Accepting the beautiful cupcake, she pondered where to take the first delicious bite. As their car pulled away, the two bears moved to follow behind.
Richard was simply curious, why the store had so abruptly shifted its target customers. He found it rather odd and intriguing
The obedient little girl carefully cut the rabbit–shaped cake in half, exactly as she was told, leaving the other half untouched. As they neared home, she asked Richard what to do with the rest of the cake.
