“Do I have you on board?”
In front of Dave sat his three children looking at him open mouthed. They had been making plans for their Easter holidays and Dave had just proposed that they spend these holidays at home and make the most of it as he couldn’t take time off.
Little Adam looked at his older sister and gave a cheeky smile showing his missing front teeth. Daddy always sounded funny when he spoke like that.
“Daddy you’re not the CEO here, you’re at home!”
Dave smiled. “Really, then who is?”
“Mummy!” replied all the children together.

Hi Janet, Thanks, it does, doesn’t it?
haha that was super cute 🙂
Thank you!
Cute post, and so true. I’m intrigued by the picture. What or where is this?
At Friday Fictioneers we get a photo each week and we have to write a 100 word story on it. This week the photo was from Adam Ickes called Boardwalk
The little one is so right…I’m the CEO of my house too! ha, ha…
Me too! 🙂
The kids aren’t wrong.
Did you like the mention of your name?
Such a sweet domestic scene, Zainab. Really nice dialogue and scene setting. I felt like I dropped in on a few minutes of family time.
PS) EVERY week, I mean to tell you: That photo of your son, at the top… GORGEOUS! I love his impish smile and laughing eyes. Just adorable!
Thank you. It’s one of those rare photos that isn’t blurred because he moves so much!
It’s just incredible. Every time I read one of your posts, that face captures my attention. 😉
I wish my son was old enough to know how famous he is! 🙂
Thank you Dawn, for the lovely comment.
Telling it like it is… well done.
Thank you!
now that brought a smile on my face !! 🙂
I’m glad it did! 🙂
That was a lovely story, Zainab, and had the ring of truth about it.
Thank you Karen. It is true isn’t it?
Dear Zainab,
You can’t pull anything over on the kids. They know. 😉 Good one.
shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle.
HaHa! Only young but they know!
Yes, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Realistic family scene, sounds a lot like my house
Yes every woman is the CEO of her house!
Thanks for reading.
Really cute story and well done. Good dialogue! The inspiration for the dialogue of Adam must have been your son.
Maybe something he would say in the future. It was more from my husband who sometimes speaks to me as if we were in an office.
Oh I like this! 🙂
Hey thanks for liking it.
The kids know what’s what!
They sure do!
And Dad, don’t you ever forget it!
🙂 Thanks for the visit!
Nicely done and how true!
Regards
Jim
