Chapter 69: Arrival of meteorites.
The moment they returned home, Sunshine officially lost control of her lower limbs. Two children latched onto her legs like determined monkeys, refusing to let go. She dragged her feet forward, one at a time while pretending that she had not noticed them.
"Oh my, I wonder why my legs are so heavy." She asked herself very loudly, speaking to the air like she could not see a single person around.
The two kids giggled like little villains.
"What creatures could be clinging to my legs? Perhaps two monkeys."
"No monkey mommy!" Castiel shouted, wrapping his arms around her right leg like a seasoned koala. "I am a a fierce tiger....roooooar."
His roar was as fierce as a kitten’s meow.
Sunshine took one drastic step, dragging both children on the floor. They continued to squeal in delight, and she groaned theatrically.
"We are squirrels." Earl declared. "And you are our tree. Tress don’t move mommy." He turned to Ariel and asked, "Ariel, am I correct?"
Hades had made a beeline for the kitchen when they arrived. Suddenly, he popped out with a spoon in his hands which he was wielding as a sword and self-declared. "I am Sir Daddy, mommy’s knight. I am here to rescue her from clingy squirrels and toothless tigers."
As he approached them, Earl let go and run away screaming, leaping onto a couch. Castiel did not get away, he was captured and tortured by tickling which resulted in more squeals and giggling.
Sunshine used the chance to sit down and do her own tickling on the bottom of Earl’s feet. He squealed and gave up, "I surrender, I surrender mommy."
