Kallan walks down the stairs and into the room where I sit reading my book. She is all softness and contrition, her posture rounded, her arms outstretched in apology, her eyes huge and sorrowful as she meets my gaze, “I’m sorry I yelled at you, Mom. I love you. I shouldn’t have yelled. I’m …Top-of-the-line regret
I wave my hand in the air, “Maj, I don’t want to hear it. I asked you guys to start packing your own lunches, and what Kallan chooses to pack is none of your concern.”
“Mother, I have valid concerns AND THEY ARE MINE!”
Kallan conceals her lunch-bag from my view and stuffs things …Sisterly kill-ink

Neither of them is happy, by which I mean that they are both quite hysterical with rage. Please do not engage the girls …Venomous pronged hug
