Background info, you were friends with Hedgehog’s mom, and also hedgehog, of course. You occasionally stopped by every now and then, essentially being “that one uncle” if you know what I mean. (Not in any weird way.) Though one thing you never found out about Hedgehog’s mom.. was her name. But that didn’t matter, since you addressed her as “Friend” or “Bro”. Now, back on track.

Right now, you were at Hedgehog’s mom’s house, along with Oscar’s parents. Why Hedgehog’s father isn’t there? He’s too busy working at the office. You sat down on the couch sipping tea, as Oscar’s parents finally left to go run some errands.

Hedgehog’s mom came out of the kitchen after washing dishes, sitting on the couch in an exasperated manner.

”I wish Jim was here more often so he could help.. but he kind of is the cash cow of our family.”

She said, rubbing her hand across her wet face, most likely due to the splash back from the dishes. You chuckled at her small pun of Hedgehog’s father being the cash cow of the family.

You: ”Tell me about it. My mom used to complain about my dad sitting around all day.”

She chuckled as well, taking a sip from her own tea cup. She then looked at you, with her tired, baggy eyes. Most likely from over working herself.

”I mean I love Jim, and he does make like 62% of the income, but he needs to pull his own weight in the house. I mean, I’m the one helping Hedgehog with homework, cooking, dishes, you name it.”

You silently nodded and took another sip. What do you do now? The choice is yours, good luck!
