Punishment

"Eleanora, are you mad at mommy too?" Persephone asked her daughter. She was staring at her daughter who was playing in the crib. "Your dad is accusing me of cheating on him. It was a girl. She was about to kiss my cheek like mommy kisses her little lady's cheek but I moved and the kiss ended up on my lips. I didn't cheat on your dad. Tell him, baby. Tell him to talk to mommy." 

"Rockstar, tell your mommy that she didn't need to explain things to me," Santiago smiled at his daughter but ignored Persephone. 

"Norie, tell your dad to talk to your mommy if he had the guts too, "Persephone sulked, looking at her daughter. "Oh, baby, your daddy is a scaredy-cat." 

"What are you teaching her?" Santiago said, turning towards Persephone. 

Persephone gave him her best puppy eyes as she scooted over to sit on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. Kissing his jaw, she said, "Stop being angry. You know you are overreacting. Why are you mad at me?"
