But, being a little rascal, he used the very same water from his foot bath to rinse the mug. Mia just sighed. "Honey, tomorrow when you drink from that, it might have a bit of a funky smell. Don't be picky." She tousled Henry's hair, smiling. "You helped make this little troublemaker, you know."

Andre drew in a deep breath. "Henry, hand Daddy the mug. I'll wash it myself."

Mia quickly rewashed the mug and set it back on the shelf.

Andre, still a bit exasperated, declared, "Tomorrow, you're off to your grandpa's."
