Ike was totally floored.

He turned and went into the kitchen.

His mom was the boss of the house.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth."

Hot on his mom's heels, Ike said anxiously, "Why won't you guys believe me?"

Fiona pointed at her son and said, "These veggies aren't washed yet. Go wash them for me. Then chop them up for the salad."

Ike looked at the vegetables in the basket, quickly took them to the sink, filled a basin with water, and started washing them.

While washing, he continued, "Mom, I'm not making any of this up. Do you remember my classmate from Silverbrook University, Stefan? He and I have a mutual junior, Gabriel, who works in the registration office. It was Gabriel who told me. He said Stefan got married today. I wanted to confirm it, so I called Stefan. Guess who answered his phone? It was my sister Lucinda. She told me herself that she was the one who registered marriage with Stefan."

"This scared the crap out of me. I dropped everything, rushed back to tell you guys."

Fiona seemed to not hear him, continuing her chores.

Ike finished washing the veggies, chopped them up, put them in a dish, and handed it to his mother.

"Mom, are you listening?"

"I'm listening."

"Then why aren't you reacting?"


"Talk is cheap. Unless Lucinda brings your classmate home and shows me some evidences of their marriage, I won't believe she's married."
