One morning, before dawn, Michael and Dodo had awakened Victoria from her sleep.
"Mummy! Mummy! Disaster! We need to pay for our International Chess Class!" Michael was anxious.
"And I'm planning to take ballet classes mommy, can you pay the tuition?" Dodo chimed in.
"Ask your dad for money," Victoria rolled over, covering her head with the blanket, "Stop nagging, go to school."
"Mommy, mommy——" Dodo tugged on the blanket, "Don't forget, you said just last night that you would split our education and living expenses with dad."
"Mmm... okay, we'll talk about this later." Victoria responded sleepily.
"We can't wait mom," Michael was frantic, "If we don't pay today, our classes will be cancelled!"
"So let them be cancelled," Victoria waved her hand dismissively, shooing her children away. "Ask your grandparents, get a home tutor..."
After uttering these words, Victoria swiftly drifted back into her sweet dreams.
Michael and Dodo shared a look.
Mommy was tough nut to crack.
