"Mom? We did not expect you so early."
Summer's mother entered, in her large coat and hat, putting down her large handbag and looking a bit tired.
"I'm afraid my meeting with the Hollering Heights Housewives has been cancelled. There was no reason to make a two-hour trip to town if I can't get anything done."
She kissed the girls, hugged them, then retired to her room to remove her make-up.
The Salt sisters looked each other. A weekend with mom, huh. Just the three of them.
A naive onlooker would have easily been deceived by the previous charming family scene.
But the truth is, as the three women went their separate ways in their minds they were all plotting like crazy, assessing the new situation and preparing for the coming storm.
Make no mistake, the Salt family loved each other.
But when someone is as smart as Summer, as beautiful as her mom and as energetic as Mouse, everyday life easily escalates into a constant battle for dominance. They were all playful and devious in their own ways.
Normally it would not be a problem when Dad was around, since his presence forced them to put on their best behaviors, and they could never really bare their fangs.
But now it was only the three of them, and that meant that sooner or later something would set them off.
And when that happened, someone would get tickled. :p
