You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Arissa smiled and pinched Jesse’s nose lovingly.

“There are a lot of little kids your age in school. I’m sure it’ll be fun. You should go to school with your brothers. I’ll pick you up after school, okay? That way, I don’t have to worry much, and you guys won’t miss me all day long, right? I’ll be worried sick if no one takes care of you at home.”

Jesse pouted as she turned to look at her brothers. The young child knew she could not persuade her mother at all.

Finally, Zachary spoke up. “Could we just postpone the plan for a few days? We’re still jet-lagged!”

Arissa looked at the energetic and rowdy kids in front of her.

“What difference does it make? I know you’re all mature and sensible kids, but you have to go to school someday!”

She could not comprehend why her children were so reluctant to attend school.

“The kids in school are a bunch of whiny babies!” Oliver said with a tone of disdain.

Oliver’s words amused Arissa. “You’re saying that you’re not a kid?”

She pinched his nose affectionately.

Oliver chuckled. “But I won’t cry and make a fuss like them!”

“All right. We’ll go to school, Mommy.” Seeing how worried Arissa was, Gavin was the first to agree to her wishes.
