Walking in back through the front door...
Oomph! Wha... Who... Oh, Ann dear... It's you. Anything the matter, oh, you need help with your homework.
Sure I can help with that. You've been watching out for your sisters haven't you? Yes, I agree... Tabby can be a handful sometimes with all that energy of hers.
Huh? The box? Oh, that's a present for mommy. Now don't spoil the surprise.
*Adam proceeds to give his snowy white eldest daughter a glimpse of the box's contents before closing the lid quickly afterwards.
OK... Now you have the makings for a basic immobilization potion. Please don't try using it to cheat when you and your sisters are playing tag or when some other thing like that. Yes, Aunty Christy and I do use it like that sometimes... Which is why, though I know you'll get in a bit of mischief, I hope and trust you to employ your good judgment before recurring to a quick magic solution.
Now run off and get your sisters and have a bit of fun... Mommy and Daddy will get you in a few hours to go out for dinner.
*Turns to find Isabelle standing behind watching them. Uh, if that's OK with you darling. We could leave the girls here or take them with us... It's your decision.
*Kisses her on the cheek. Habby birthday Izzy.
