Chocolate Milk
prompt: Henley and Kelley being obsessed with chocolate milk and Hope looking at them with adoration and annoyance
***
// Kelley and Henley can hardly contain themselves. Once they arrive home, Kelley quickly unbuckles her seat belt and looks into the trunk for their most prized possession from grocery shopping: chocolate milk.
// Momma, can you believe this?! Henley shouts as she chases after Kelley into the house. We’ll never run out of it!
// Kelley’s eyes shine as she sets down the large package onto the counter top. She enunciates every word. Best. Day. Ever.
// Hope grudgingly walks through the door, four bags of groceries in each hand. Thanks for the help, guys. Kelley and Henley don’t hear her; they never do when it comes to their favorite treat. Hope begins to unpack the rest of the groceries when she (adoringly) rolls her eyes at Kelley and their daughter.
// Don’t give us that look, Solo. Kelley scolds.
// Hope defends herself, You’re looking at that package like its half a million dollars. It’s just chocolate milk, you guys.
// Both Kelley and Henley’s heads shoot up, giving the third member in the room the most offended expression. Henley whines, But Mommy, it’s a 50 pack. 50 cartons of chocolate milk! Kelley agrees and adds, Yeah, Hope. The package DOUBLED.
// Hope just shakes her head as she watches Kelley and Henley’s eyes bulge out of their sockets as they grab two cartons for themselves. She’s never been fond of chocolate milk and sorta hates their obsession, but because of it, she kind loves them more. She laughs quietly to herself,Weirdos.
