(Wherein, Jason and I gulp, but after peeking at Miah's "meeting notes" we decide to proceed.)
We gather 6 of the children. Child #7 was sent to her room upon arrival at home for not doing her homework two days in a row and thankfully she fell asleep.
Miah: Ahem... (reads the following speech)
Ladies and gentlemen, I will be holding a contest on earth day. Everyone will write a speech on why it is good to recycle. The due date is Earth Day, April 22, and you will read your speeches out loud. If you do not want to compete please visit my office/room.
Miah continues: The judges will be our work and jobs. We will take turns taking all of our speeches to our jobs or classes to get votes.
Wrig: What if we just write down names of people and say they voted?
Miah: Then you are a cheater.
Sav: I will do this. I like to write when I don't have to. How long does it have to be?
Wrig: Can this be a skate contest?
Sav: Wrig, be quiet i have a legit question: If we lose is there going to be any crying about it? (Sis knows that Miah has emotional breakdowns.)
Miah: no crying.
Mom: I will take it to work. My friends would love to vote.
Kainon: What are you talking about? (He is on youtube and not really paying attention.)
Junah: No one is listening to me talk.
Zeph: I can't write.
Jason: Uh (still in shock from a long day at work, had not transitioned to family mode fully yet)
Sav: Trin will do it if I do it. I will tell her to do it.
Junah: Why is no one listening to me talk.
Miah: There are too many questions. Come to my office if you'd like a conference.
Wrig: I don't want to do this.
Miah: Then let me go get your contract. You'll have to sign it.
Wrig: Talk to my people.
The tv was never turned on tonight.
If my house had as many interesting and entertaining people in it as your does, we wouldn't turn the TV on either. ;) You have a lovely family.
