The youngest is always the favorite

We all went to the living room to talk as Mom was about to start an argument about Alan's situation and make it all about her, as she usually does.

"Do you have any idea how hurtful it is to hear about your own son's divorce on the street?" Mom said.

"What divorce? What street?" Alan said confused.

"I told her" I said.

"How did you get in my house?" Charlie said.

"You stay out of this, I'm here to help your brother through a very difficult time" Mom said to Charlie and then looked at Alan with a look of disappointment in her face. 

"How could you do this to me?" She said.

"Do what?" Alan replied.

"Now when I want to see my grandson I am going to have to make an appointment with Judith, who, let's face it, was never very warm to me" Mom said.

And she continued.

"And what if there's another man there? Shacking up with her? Have we even stopped to consider that?"

"Or a woman" I said and Mom looked at me.

"Dont make it worse honey" she said

I look at alan to see that he's starting to have a paranoid look on his face.

"I think he's considering it now, Mom" Charlie said.

Jake comes from the kitchen with an iced tea.

"Here's your iced tea, Grandma" he said.

"Thank you, my little angel…" she paused and looked at the iced tea.

"Darling, I asked for a lemon wedge"

Jake sighed and went back to the kitchen.

"Here's what you're going to do, You and Jake will come live with me. After all, I'm just rattling around in that big house all by myself" Mom said.

"That's very considerate, but as soon as Judith and I work things out, I'm going to be back at my own house" Alan said.

"Sweetheart, grow up, Think about what I said. You're my son, and I'll always have room for you in my house and in my heart" Mom said.

"I love you too, Mom" Alan replies.

Mom slowly turns to Charlie and stares at him

"I love you too, Mom" Charlie said funnily.

"Too little, Too late" she replies and walks to me.

"I dont need to say it, do i darling?" she said to me.

"Nah ma, will we have dinner this Sunday or are you going to accompany some rich old man to make him buy a house?" I said.

"Sorry honey, there's gonna be a really fancy party for all the members of the Malibu High Society club and mommy's going to hunt some buyers"

"Good luck Mom, bye" I said to her.

"Thanks honey, bye" she said walking to the door and leaving the house.

I look behind to see Charlie and Alan giving me weird looks.

"What? The youngest is always the favorite" I said and shrugged.
