"I just can't get the little one to calm down," Ren groans from the other line, exasperated. You've left home for a week to go visit your parents and your husband's barely managing to keep your four-year-old in check.

"Sweetie, we're not having ice cream for breakfast. It's unhealthy- Jesus, stop scratching me," You hear muffled voices of Ren and your kid from the other line and a small amused chuckle escapes you. He seems like he's at a loss without you there to help him out. "Tell me how to get them to behave, please."
