Silence filled the room, and when | turned around to look at the corner of the kitchen, I realized that the father
and son had already battled it out before this.
Not only were there traces of breadcrumbs on the kitchen counter and the stovetop but in the corners of the
floorboard as well.
"What's going on here, Munchkin? How did the kitchen beclike this when you haven't even started making
the meatballs? Cover here and clean this up!" | said while dragging Munchkin to the kitchen without looking
at Theo on purpose.
As soon as we entered, we both hid behind the door.
When | was 'scolding' Munchkin, | gave
him a wink. The little guy then went along with it and displayed a face of guilt.

Sure enough, not long after, Theo cour way. Hence, | estimated the distance and began counting down with

"Three... two... one." The moment Theo cin, we tossed half the small bowl of breadcrumbs in our hands all
over Theo's face.
After all the breadcrumbs had fallen, Theo stood in front of us looking like a clown with a full face of makeup on.
Munchkin and | hugged our stomachs and laughed out loud.
After quite a while, Theo finally moved his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
"Daddy lost! You said you were the best just now, but you got ambushed by Mommy in the blink of an eye!"
Munchkin said while he laughed and ran away.
Theo walked to the side of the kitchen and turned on the faucet without saying a word. After washing off the
breadcrumbs on his face, he started filling the basin up with water.
| sensed that something was off, so | immediately grabbed Munchkin and evacuated the kitchen.
The next moment, he poured the leftover breadcrumbs in the small bowl into the water.
Munchkin and | picked up the remaining’ ammunition’ on the table and quickly ran to the corner of the living
room.
After that, Theo used the kitchen as
his base, while Munchkin and | used

No one knew how long we played, but when the three of us were so exhausted we could not chase each other
anymore, we had to call a truce. The three of us collapsed onto the couch.

Munchkin said that and proceeded to crawl under the kitchen cabs. He found half a bag of flour among the mess.
| said half, but there was actually just less than a fifth.
| looked at Theo wryly. "Good thing you saw this coming. Otherwise, we would have to go hungry tonight."
This morning, | was even worried

that this bag of breadcrumbs would be enough to make a year's worth of meatballs, but in a split second, only
this much was left.
"Alright, I'll go make the meatballs. You two clean the place up and hurry over to helpout."
Fortunately, | had the right to assign tasks as the mother, so | immediately gave them both the hardest tasks.
"Pick up all the breadcrumbs on the floor and clear as much of it as you can. It's late, so don't use the vacuum or
you'll disturb the neighbors."
| knew that the vacuum cleaner Theo prepared was of great quality, but | still found an excuse to see both of
them struggle to clean.
