At the School Grounds...
"Alright, kids—just like what I always tell you..." I said, crouching down so I was eye-level with Paris and Egypt.
"No fighting, and no being noisy in class."
"No fighting, and no being noisy.." Paris repeated obediently.
"And…" I turned my head toward Egypt, raising a brow.
She grinned, already anticipating what was coming. "No being naughty, and don't be a headache for Teacher Amie!"
I laughed softly. "Exactly. Same rules as always, okay?"
Both girls nodded, and I leaned forward to kiss them gently on the forehead.
Paris sighed, but there was affection in it. "Yes, Mom."
I shifted my attention to Egypt. "You stay with your sister at all times. No wandering off."
"I know, Mom," Egypt replied quickly. "No wandering. No running. No talking to strangers."
"And if someone you don't know talks to you?" I pressed.
"I find a teacher," she recited proudly, then flashed a grin. "Or Miss Amie."
