Why does Blythe talk like that? It's kinda... weird.

"Mom!"

Right then, another voice chimed in..

"Sweetie!" Blythe quickly turned around, "Oh, sweetie, you must be exhausted from all that testing, huh? Here, let me hold your pencil case for you!" That was Blythe's son, Bernie.

Bernie was a skinny lad, not very tall, barely reaching up to Anthea's shoulder, and even shorter than Blythe.

Carole nodded, somewhat at a loss for words, managed to say, "Blythe, your son sure looks lively!"

Bernie, growing impatient, glanced at Blythe, "Could you cut the chitchat? I wanna go home! I'm hungry!"

"Oh dear, sweetie's hungry! My apologies, how could I forget? Come on, let's head home," Blythe then bent down.

Anthea frowned slightly, "No wonder I found Blythe's way of speaking odd, it's the classic favoritism. Spoiling their son like that, it won't end well." "You can say that again," Carole, not one to gossip, couldn't help but add, "To raise that boy, Blythe even sent away two of her daughters!" Anthea
