Sir Ares, Goodnight

The three children looked at Jay at the same time. Jay realized that his reaction might have been too petty and resumed his usual aloof temperament. "Don't you know? There are three classes of people. People from the top class give commands, people from the middle class obey commands, and people from the lowest class only know how to fawn and grovel."

The three children were smart enough to know that Daddy was implying that Mommy was low-class.

Baby Robbie was confused. "That's strange. Mommy isn't usually like this! Mommy says that we need to have pride in ourselves and conquer the world with our own capabilities!"

Baby Zetty seemed to catch on to what her brother was saying. "I know!" She shouted, "Mommy must have fallen in love with her new boss! Yesterday she said that her new boss was the first man in a long time who treated her like a human."

Baby Robbie gave his sister a side-eye. He was afraid that Daddy might be jealous and he shouted, "That can't be! Mommy said that she only loves Daddy and n o one else."

Rose happened to be walking down the stairs. She nearly tripped and fell down the stairs when she heard Baby Robbie's words.
