“Sky found them really interesting.” He laughed, shaking his head as if finding humor in why Sky found my children interesting. “He may not say it, but he enjoyed yesterday‘s activity in school. He even got to know some dads,” he said, glancing at the staff. 

The staff, whose name was printed on her name tag, came back with our order. Emily, the young woman, smiled at my triplets, and like others, when they saw how they all looked the same, they could not take their eyes away from them. 

“How about we sell the perfume to Emily?” The old Mr. Mars suggested. He looked at the staff as his eyes told her to cooperate in his little game. She smiled at him, nodding in agreement. “I‘m sorry, but I‘m kinda allergic to perfumes. I sneezed a lot, so...”
