Arthur's phone rang, he reached for the flat object. He had a bad feeling after seeing who was calling him. Arthur took a deep breath before picking up the call.
[Good morning, My Dear!]
"Good morning, Mom. You don't usually call me at this hour," Arthur said, continuing his work with the phone still connected to his mom.
[I wanted to celebrate your birthday at home! Since you couldn't do it yesterday with us.]
"Oh, come on, Mom. I'm not a snotty boy anymore who will whine if his birthday isn't celebrated."
[But you're still a snotty boy in my eyes, Dear. The 25th is also Christmas. I want you to take your time on that day, okay?"]
"...is this also part of dad's plan?"
[Yes, why? Do you mind?]
