"Diner's ready." I look at Ian. "did you get your homework done?" he was playing on the family tablet. "yeah, been done for a while, so has kaylee" I go to Kaylee's room. "kaylee.." you could hear the annoyance in my tone. "diner?" her look hopeful. "yes, that and.." she knows what she did.. or didn't do. "I didnt help with the table." she looked and sounded annoyed and to be hopeful that she would still get her allowance. Ian had one too but he got his from school and putting away his things, once he gets in middle school he can get more for doing more of whatever he chose. When kaylee chose her's she chose to help with diner or the table whichever she could do after homework. "that's it.. tell you what, you can help unset it afterwards and get half of what you do for the whole thing." "alright" she smiles. We all sit down and dish out the diner. "Okay so Ian's question, you probably already know what I've said about his personality and what he did, so appearance.. he had or has straight brown hair, hazel eyes. He was 5 foot 11' last I know of... doubt he'd get any taller though. And wasn't very muscular but still fit." I smile.. I hope he's alright. Ian smiles "told ya" kaylee is visibly confused her mouth forming an O shape "b.. but Ian's blond and blue eyed." my eyes widen coming back to the present.. I look to Ian. "yeah.. lucky genes I guess." "how?" "your dad's mom was blond and his dad had blue eyes but. And my mom had blue eyes too." not really a lie since it's true. "so we have the same dad?" "yeah, what makes you think you wouldn't." "nothing just odd that he happened to be blond and blue eyed" "well genetics work that way." "alright"
Kaylee's point of view: probably shouldn't try to argue about that especially since moms a forensics teacher at the higschool. "do you think we could meet our dad sometime?" I hope we can. "I would love to but I dont know where he is or if it's a good idea" mom looks a bit sad after she says but. I suppose she misses him a lot.. she tried to avoid talking about him until we asked about him. After diner mom and I clear the table together while Ian worked on geting out the candy for mom to give to trick or treaters. "howd you know where I put them? and how did you even get up there? howd you know there was a cubby back there anyway? come on." she looks up at my brother who was ontop of the frige and helps him down. "once I was getting cereal and it fell back into the cubby.. so I climbed up to get it and found the candy. may have eaten a few" mom looks in the bag. "a few." her brows raised. "alright more than a few but I left most" mom smiles "yeah half of it. its alright though. I expected that some would go missing." she walks out of the kitchen then comes back with a full bag. She pours them all into a big bowl orange bowl with a Jack-o-lantern face on it.
