"7:15 monkeys, Come on" Fiona said knocking on the boys bedroom door

She walked past and looked into mine, Debbies and Liams bedroom. Debbie was playing with Liam as I was getting dressed.
I was wearing one of Lips old black T-shirts, A black zip up hoodie that had some patches from when Carl ripped it and a pair of blue jeans. I was brushing my brown hair in the mirror.

"Oh no i fell down!" Debbie said pretending to speak as a toy

"Cmon Debs" I said putting down the hair brush and picking Liam up out of his crib

We walked out into the hallway and past the boys arguing.

"You had it last time!" Lip exclaimed as Ian closed the door in his face

"Fuck!" Lip shouted angrily

I placed Liam in his highchair and sat down at the table as Fiona was making our school lunches. Lip and Ian came down a-few minutes later.

"Shit" Fiona said opening a letter

"Electric?" I asked turning to face her

"Yep." She said grabbing a box "Electric" She said handing it to Lip

He placed about $20 in the box and passed it along, it reached me and i placed $30 inside.

"No you have got a Happy Meal on the front of that shirt" Fiona said walking over to Carl

"Field trip, need dad's signature" Ian said opening a permission slip

"Got it" I said taking it from his hands

I signed the paper with Franks name and handed it back to him

"That getting good" Lip said glancing at it

"Practise makes perfect" I shrugged

"I need something for show and tell" Debbie said

"how much are we short?" Fiona asked

"$18.30"

"Im tutoring after school that should bring in an extra 10" Lip said

"I can get the rest" I said

"Nah im working Candi's shift so ill get the rest" Fiona said

"Wait did Carl put any?" Debbie asked turning to Carl

"Your almost 9, you gotta start pulling your weight" Ian sighed

"And get a real job not just dipping into collection plates" Lip added

"Someones gotta take Liam" I said looking over at the toddler

"Uh, I got a calculus test" Lip said

"Im working after school" Ian said

"Ive got detention" I shrugged

"Show and tell?" Debbie said

"Show them the birthmark on his back, it looks like Latvia" Fiona said passing Liam to Debbie

"Detention? Again?" Fiona said looking over at me as she passed me my lunch

"What? Not my fault I didnt know it was a heirloom" I shrugged

"Sold well though" Lip shrugged

"See? Worth it" I smiled

———————————
I was the last one back from school, Lip upstairs, Fiona already out for the night, Ian probably doing sit-ups somewhere, Debbie watching Liam and Carl walking in from the garden holding a hamster.
