"Ma!"

"Yes Jayla!?"

"I need something to wear!" She shouted back.

"You have a closet filled with clothes you have never worn. What's the problem?"

"Come help me please?"

I sighed. I walked in her room as she sat infront her closet.

She's only ten but sometimes I think she's sixteen.

I walked in her closet and pulled out a burgundy Ralph Lauren skater skirt with a off white sleeveless button down shirt and a burgundy knitted cardigan.

"Now pair it with that burgundy and white Vans over there" I pointed to it, sitting right in the shoe closet.

I started walking to the door when she called me again.

"Yes"

She pointed to her hair.

"Do you need me to wipe your ass too?"

She laughed.

"No mom. Just my hair"

She got up and sat infront her vanity as I combed through her hair.

I curled her hair and put it in a half up- half down hairstyle.

"You like it?"

She looked up from her phone and smiled.

"Thanks ma" she kissed my cheek.

I walked out her room and entered the room I shared with my husband.

"You look nice" I said as I looked at him.

He smiled. "I know"

He wore a pair of navy blue shorts with a blue and white short sleeve Kenneth Cole shirt and his navy and white Converse.

"Get dress babe" he said as he kissed my cheek.

I slipped into the red and white Ralph Lauren shirt and white damaged jeans I had layer out on the bed. I paired it with my red and white Converse and added my gold hoops and a gold necklace.

"How should I put my hair?" I rhetorically asked.

"No matter how you put it, I love it" Jonah said wrapping his hands around my waist. I smiled.

I decided to put it in a ponytail with a side bang. I sprayed some perfume then grabbed my purse throwing my phone inside then I fixed my gold Mavado watch on my hand.

"Everybody ready?"

"Yep" Jonah and Jayla said in unison.

■

"Finally you guys made it" I smiled at my mother who pulled me in for a hug.

"Hey memaw" Jayla, my ten year old daughter said.

"Hey baby. Look at you! You've grown so much from the last"

"Jonah, it's great to see you" My dad said as they shook hands.

"The feeling is mutual"

We all walked into the backyard where the rest of the family was. We were here for yet another family reunion.

"Is Nathan coming?"

As if he heard his name, he walked in.

"Guess who's here" He said as he walked in with his daughter in his hand.
