Switches

   Not minding the mess I made on their dress, they were worried that on the mention of their dad, the tea mug slipped off my hands. The dining was silent for a while until she began talking again.

  "Mom, I am sorry I brought that dad issue up. What I am saying is you need to get a boyfriend, you are so young. We don't even have an idea why you had us so young, that's by the way."

She stated then took my hands in hers, " I know dad still lives in there in your heart and we want someone who would make you forget. I am not saying you should stop loving our father, all I am saying is get a life. Have fun, we aren't kids anymore." 

Then her face broke into one of the biggest smiles I have seen since today. "Besides, Michael has a girlfriend and I kind of have this guy I am crushing on so we ar..."

"Wait, hold on. Can you take it slowly"

I was panicking and it could be noticed. 

  "You both are too young to date"

I said nervously and they both laughed at me.

  "Mummy really? Says the mom who had her kids early. It's pretty cool huh, having us?"

I closed my mouth and opened it but no words came out from it. I had a lot to say but they were not coming out. It's like they were stuck on my throat.

  "Mom, chill, I did not say we are dating. I said I have a guy I am crushing on and might got this girl he likes so much only that he is afraid to tell her he likes her because her family is damn rich"

  "I don't know why you have to bring me into this conversation?"

Michael said glaring at the sister. I was distracted a bit by the way he was taking everything coolly, if what Mitchell said is not true, both would have been at log head with each other. They are like switches, they go off or on at any time.

  "So are you saying you both are not actually dating?"

Michelle nodded and Michael just rolled his eyes,

"Michael and Mitchell Z Thompson, are you both aware you are in school to learn?"

I was getting angry a little.

 "Mom, we know that and we are not doing anything wrong by crushing on someone. Having a boyfriend is not bad or is it, Michael?"

Michael gave her a look and stood up,"mom I better get myself off this uniform"

  He said walking off. 

  "Michelle, shhhh, stop talking. Now, listen to me. You can crush but you can't have a boyfriend until I am sure you can handle a relationship. Now get up and get yours out of that uniform or else you might go to school looking like this"

She grumbled, "fine mum" And she stormed off.  

I sighed a long sigh, standing up as well.

  I better go change my dress too.

  As I walked towards my room, I had a lot of thoughts swirling in my head. Michael is a boy but I don't want him to be like his father and Mitchell is a girl who I wouldn't want to end up like me. I don't regret having them but I had the grace,I was able to pull through. I am not implying that anything of sort will happen but then who knows? 

 "You are just worrying your head. They are kids, allow them to have fun, it's their time. You into them more than your mom was into you so you will know when something is about to go off and you can stop it"

My other self said and I hate to say this but I agreed with it. I can't use that I did not have a perfect school life and stop my kids from having theirs.

  I will just guide them, with me being here nothing will go wrong.

  "Imagine, Mitchell trying to match me with her teacher. My adorable Little girl." I chuckled.

   I did not waste time getting dressed the second time, the twins and are are both running late so we should better hurry.

  I stepped out of my room and headed towards the main door, I presume they were outside waiting for me so I did not bother checking on them.

  Peeping through the dining room, Miss Setory was clearing the table. I smiled my thanks to her.

  "Have a good day at work, Ma'am"

"Thank you"

I yelled, pulling the door open and there stood the last person I want to see.
