Town Hall Meeting
It’s 7:00 & dinner has finally finished. Mom has a PTA meeting & Dad is going wherever Dad’s go at this hour {I have my suspicions}. “Upstairs to do your homework scout” Mom instructs as she’s clearing the table. Dad grabs the trash bag on his way out & tells Mom to make sure she locks up. After I know they’ve left I call Chase. “They’re gone. I’m coming over.”
Once I meet up with Chase we meet up with Malcolm & Tessa at the rec center. As soon as we arrive Malcolm let’s us know it’s time to head in. We make our way to room 207 just as the clock strikes 8. Inside, just as I imagined I see my Mom & Dad sitting near Malcolm’s parents along with almost every other parent in town. At the podium is Mayor Jensen he starts the meeting.
“Today was a good day all. Now let’s discuss possible mischief for tomorrow. How can we make the lives of our kids a living hell?”
How many times did you hear from your parents {I know I did!} or how many times have you said to your own kids “What do you think I do, sit around dreaming up ways to make your life miserable?” Yeah. That.

I knew it! That is hilarious!
I love the plotting and multiple layers of intrigue. Very funny!
Brilliant ending!
I like how you added your own promopt to your response! Great ending.
I really liked this. I laughed out loud at the ending:~)There’s a bit of reverse “horror” tale in this me. Parents plotting to drive their children mad.
It’s a very clever take on the prompt and I enjoyed reading this:~)
