"Yes." Jackie nodded even though she looked like she would rather stay and hear those unpalatable words.
Mom gave an ephemeral nod before she carried Jackie out of the room. We all sat patiently, waiting for mom to come back.
"So, how was life outside? I mean living without supervision from your guardian?" Dad started a little chat before mom arrived.
I sighed.
"I know you already know," I accused. "If you don't, then you won't want to know." I shrugged.
I made sure to make it sound as polite as possible, this man here is my father. But I also made sure to firmly point out there's nothing to show forth.
"Common, talk to Daddy." Dad cajoled.
I kissed my teeth as I thought of what to say. I even found it weird that dad was trying to pet me into spilling the beans.
Luckily, at this moment, mom walked in.
"What did I miss?" She asked as she settled down beside Dad.
