Taylors POV

Covid..Lockdown..so much fun..right?

WRONG! Well at least with a tween!
the mood swings are outrageous! and being stuck in the house with one is hell.

"MOM!!" I hear a scream from Averys room.

shes upstairs busy with her online schooling right now. a perk with her doing school online full time is that covid doesnt affect her school what so ever.

Im sitting on the couch watching friends. Meredith is laying on my lap so i have to slowly move her off. The things I do for my child...

"MOMMA!!"

Can this child not wait!

"Im coming!" I yell up to her room. Im still getting off from the couch as I just got Meredith off my lap.

As Im walking up the stairs, you guessed it

"MOOOOOM"

"IM COMING FOR GODS SAKE AVERY" I yell to her room hoping she actually hears me this time

"Jeez" I hear her say as I walk in her room

"Ya, what was soo important that I had to come all the way from the couch to help you with!?" I ask her seeing her laptop open in front of her on her desk.

"I need help with this math prob-"

"Im out" I say starting to walk out the door

"Please! at least try!" she says looking up at me

"Ok fine..whats the problem..."

we sat there for an hour. why is fifth grade math so hard. but after face timing my dad we got it done pretty quickly! I then went back down to go back to watching friends

"mom.." I hear Averys voice coming from the staircase.

"Yes Aves?" I ask her turning my head towards the stairs

"Why is school so hard!?" she says as I see her coming over to the couch basically dragging her body behind her

"Well it's just gonna get harder, Sweetie!" I say as she plops herself on the couch next to me. I like to be brutally honest with her but still sugarcoat her sometimes.

"Well I might as well stop trying then!" She says laying her body on my lap

"Now see that, is not the attitude you wanna be having! Then you're gonna get absolutely nowhere in life!" I tell her I was gonna bring up what would've happend if I gave up but I know she doesn't like it when I bring up my life and Im not in the mood to get yelled at by an 11 year old

she then sits up straight looks around for a bit then says "Can we get a kitten?" she looks me in the eyes dead serious

"Seriously. a kitten? You know we just got Benjamin like a year ago?!" I tell her hoping she wasn't serious

"I know but I wanna call my cat Luna and I want a fluffy ginger cat!" She says still with this serious look on her face

"No. end of story!" I say making myself comfortable by sitting into the couch looking to the tv
