Mom and Dad came home just in time to see us throwing the couch pillows at one another. Mom didn't get mad and merely sent us upstairs to take our showers before dinner. As we all sat down for dinner, Mom was last despite trying to hurry us along.
"Who was it on the phone?" Dad asked her while we filled up our plates.
"It was Rose." She surprised us with her answer. We all turned to look her way. She smiled. "She invited all of us to a celebratory dinner this weekend. Saturday, at the stadium, they plan to get the team together to celebrate Jeremy's achievement."
"Wow!"
"That's gotta be exciting!"
"Do you think Zeke will want to come?"
"He might be busy with school."
"I'll text him and tell him about it."
"It's a black tie event." Mom spoke over the boys. "That means all of you need to find the suits you wore to the banquet a few months back. Make sure everything still fits and that you can find your shoes, ties, and belts."
