" Can i come with you Mommie?" he spoke. Synnthia turned to her son looking he up and down, then sighed. "No my son you can not come with mommie." "Mommie will be right back after i make a few errands but if you are a good little boy i promise to bring take out food for you." From out of the darkness a sloshing sound could be heard. "Yeeeaaa!!!" he spoke filled with laughter and glee. Synnthia sighed as she looked into the mirror as she fixed her hair ever so right. Finishing she turned to her son, seeing him all in the darkness and thought " he is such a handful of late." The boy spoke mommie what will you bring for dinner ? Synnthia spoke " well what would my little boy like?" The boy spoke " how about soul food?" "No my dear, you do know that if you eat soul food you will be up all night." The boy spoke again " how about Italian ?" "Again, we just had that a day ago my little one." Synnthia said. "I know how about Chinese food? ..it has been awhile since we had chinese." " YYYYaahh i want chinese food" declared the Boy with great delight. Synnthia smiled "whatever am I am going to do with my little Boy?" she giggled. As she walked to the door she began to rummage through the tray next to the door of the house. "Where on earth are those darn keys?" Synnthia said more to herself than anyone. "Here they are mommie, you left them by the sofa." said the Boy. Synnthia turned to the Boy as a long tentacle stretched out depositing the keys in her hand. "Thank you little one, now you go play with your toys i am sure they are still warm and wanting attention" she said. As she opened the door to the outside, dusk had turned to twilight and she would have to make a stop first to pick up some plastic bags and disinfectant, as well as some household sprays. "The Boys pets were starting to stink, perhaps i should put out another ad for housekeepers" she thought. "oh well " she said as she step out into the dim lights of the city. " Will you go far " the Boy spoke. "No my love, just down the block to the general store to pick up the items I need , then I will go to get dinner ." " i know a new chinese parlor has open up with wonderful people just dying to meet you !!" Synnthia spoke. "YYeaaa mommie!! i am going to have chinese food!!" the Boy cried out happily. Synnthia turned and went down the stairs as tentacles of nauseating green of color waved by closing the door " Do hurry mommie " Synnthia heard in her mind.... Synnthia sighed " children are such a joy but truly impatient"
