it was a nice day, so why not go on a walk at the park? let the twins blow off some of that energy they’d woken up with that she definitely wasn’t fucking prepared for. “damn it noah.” delaney came to a full stop, turning around to face her boys. “you’re gonna wanna watch your mouth if you don’t wanna find yourself grounded from everything you enjoy. instead of playing, you could be sitting next to me the whole time we’re here,” she said, making cameron walk on her right side and noah on the left. “but he---” cameron started. “what did i say? did i say watch your mouth or didn’t i?” she asked. “yeah...” “then don’t argue with me, and you, mister,” delaney said, tapping noah’s head. “don’t pester him. go play. one argument, one handful of sand being thrown, one tear shed, one more bad word, one body part being put on each other, one tattle tale and we’re going home,” she said, stopping at a bench that was near the playground and sitting down as cameron ran off but noah climbed into her lap.
