"Not at all!" Victoria retorted, "You guys should go to bed already! Someone's going to get a spanking if they don't go to bed soon."
With that, she pretended as if she would spank DuoDuo and Michael.
DuoDuo and Michael immediately dashed around the room, shouting, "Mommy can't catch us," causing an uproar amongst them.
As they were laughing and carrying on, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Oh, we have a late-night visitor." DuoDuo immediately jumped off the couch.
"Oh yeah!" Michael chimed in, "Uncle Hank is here! Someone said they wouldn't let him in."
Precocious DuoDuo had already run to the door: "Momi, hurry up and say it, if you tell me not to open the door, I won't let Uncle Hank in and he'll have to stay outside all night."
"Stay outside all night?" Before Victoria could respond, Michael hugged his shoulders, "It's dark and cold out there, and the floor is hard. Uncle Hank will get sick."
