"Vernon, did Mackie do something wrong?"
Vernon and Mackie stopped arguing for a second and looked at Chloe simultaneously.
Mackie was the first one to report on what happened, "Mommy! Uncle Vernon wants to rob my banana cream pie! He said he would eat Mommy if I didn't give my pie!"
"What the— rob?! I was trying to take my rightful pie!" Vernon insisted, thinking it was his pie to begin with. Mackie was stealing it from the fridge— he did that once… or twice… whenever his sister-in-law cooked an extra and put it in the fridge when he was a kid.
He would sneak in the middle of the night to steal it and eat whatever was in his room.
So he expected Mackie to do the same.
"Ah, yup, that one is for Mackie. She scored perfect on her math test, so I want to give her something to reward her," Chloe confirmed, not wanting to let long bickering between these kids. It was funny to hear them bickering and arguing the smallest thing possible.
