After she had said it, Victoria closed the door, not caring whether it hit Hank Clegg's nose or not. Balancing a plate in one hand and munching on a drumstick with the other, she happily sauntered off.
The real blow of despair finally hit her babies!
"She really is a foodie with no principles..." They all burst into tears.
Michael blurted out, "But isn't the key point here that Mommy only has eyes for the chicken leg and not for Daddy? She isn't angry at Daddy at all, she's completely ignoring him!"
"Do you guys want a chicken leg too?" Seeing her babies whispering amongst themselves, Victoria, still holding her chicken leg, asked them.
Before they could answer, Victoria took a big bite, "Just kidding! If you want some, go find it in the kitchen."
They both remained silent.
Mom, are you okay?
"Mom, don't do this," they pleaded in fear, clutching at Victoria, "Don't give up on yourself because Daddy won't love you again."
