Finding the Way

The first thing that caught Gladys eyes were her eight year old twin boys, Kevin and Keith, playing in the garage. Mommy! Mommy! The boys yelled, happily, as their mother parked her car in front of the open garage. After the car had come to a complete stop the boys got up and ran to the automobile to greet their mom. Gladys taught them never to walk or run up to a moving vehicle.

'Guess what mom?" Keith began as Gladys was getting out of automobile.

Keith was all smiles and so excited, Gladys knew it was good news.

"Well, why don't you tell me?"

"We both made the baseball team!"

"Wow! That's great. Congratulations. I knew you could do it."

Gladys and the boys entered the living room and there were 12 year old Jack and 13 year old Ryan and the large German Sheppard dog running around the living room and jumping from the sofa to love seat.

"What's going on in here? Why is the dog inside the house?

Ryan grabbed the dog by the collar it was wearing around the neck.

"Got you!" He said to the dog

"The dog ran in when we opened the door. We were trying to catch him to let him out" Jack stated.

"I could have sworn that you were having a good time playing with the dog. Get that dog out of the house."

"Come on boy." Ryan said to the dog as he led the pet outside Jack followed his brother.

"Boys, where is your dad? He is supposed to be watching you kids until I got home from work."

"Daddy had to go to work early," Kevin answered as he ran to the kitchen. "Can I have ice cream?"

"Can I have some, too?" Kevin asked

"May I have some?" Gladys corrected him.

"You want some, too?" Kevin yelled from the kitchen

Gladys shock her head, "No."

Ten o'clock that night Gladys was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Sixteen year old, Paul, wearing shirt and tie came in the front door.
"Hi, Mom"

"Paul! Hello, how was your day at work?"

"Very busy, but, that was good, the time went by fast."
