Blair

"You want me to walk Kade to school?"

"Please don't talk with your mouth full." Mum scolds me. "But yes."

"You say you are not a baby but you are certainly acting like one."

"Fuck off!" He glares at me and even I'm shocked. He turns eight tomorrow, not eighteen... "Are you serious right now?" I fold my arms across my chest and he copies me.
