"Mom!" The twins exclaimed simultaneously.
"Back to your room, kids. You've had plenty of break time; now it's time to focus on your studies." Brenda said.
Lydia opened her mouth to protest, but Brenda's stern expression silenced her.
"Mother, we were preparing to do our homework in our room."
Rosie stepped out of the nearby room, noticing the tension. "Brenda, what's wrong?" she asked, her eyes locked on her daughter's resolute face.
Brenda insisted, "I asked them to return to their room to complete their homework."
Rosie countered with a gentle tone, "Brenda, don't be too hard on them. They're on vacation; let them have some fun."
Brenda stood firm. "Mother, don't spoil them. They've neglected their studies since returning from Australia."
Undeterred, Rosie smiled warmly at the twins. "Come along, kids. I have some delightful stories to share."
