Once upon a time there was a family of six, a mom and dad, three boys and one girl. They lived on a little hill out in the country within a beautiful white house. Trees swayed in the wind like they were dancing with joy, and flowers bloomed across the yard with birds singing around them. As is common in American society, the two oldest boys left for college when they graduated high school. At first the family missed their presence, but slowly noticed the differences around them. Mom, Dad, Carson, and Laura were the only ones in the house and they learned to love it. A cleanliness filled the absence of the boys that spread through all the rooms.

Several used towels hung everywhere, all meant to conceal the enemy and prevent the victim from noticing the upcoming attack. Toothpaste and toilet lids were fallen soldiers, all their guts and liquids dribbling onto the floor. Razors and makeup products stood tall and proud on the once immaculate countertop, baring their weapons in wait of the incoming invasion. A radio had been moved to the top of the toilet where it played heavy metal, old rock, and blasted out inspiring messages for the troops.

This catastrophe only affected Laura since Mom and Dad were elderly and Carson was the youngest. When the boys had left Laura had been the oldest and she shined under all the special attention and excellent benefits. After Sean returned, she was out of the spotlight and into the shadows.

Now that Sean drove him to school every day the younger siblings were in harmony now because of their limited encounters. Carson also barged into her room to ask for help periodically. She was both annoyed and amused by this development. He was still an idiot, but a tolerable one. Laura also did not need to help as much around the farm. Before she had helped all the time, but with Sean home Dad did not need another helper.
The kids now received help on homework. They all sat at the dinner table and worked on homework while Sean chimed in with suggestions every once in awhile. Before the two teens needed to figure everything out by themselves or ask Mom for help. Occasionally, Mom and Laura had girl’s nights, which consisted of complaining about the boys, but the men never heard it considering they were at a football game or out
