(dinning table) 

Good afternoon mom(afternoon dear, so how was school today and how is Serena) 

Schools good and so is serena's, but can I ask question

Sure go ahead(why do people lie) 

Why do you want to know that

oh nothing just asking, Mina replys (okay if you say so) 

Hey little sis, good afternoon mom (afternoon Daniel, how was school today) school was fine

Hey Daniel, can I ask you a question

Ok, sure, what's it about

Why do people lie(what the hell is up with that question) 

There's nothing weird about my question if you don't know what the answer is, don't answer rather than insult it 

Alright am sorry, now could you please stop making that face(what face) like a cat soaked in water 

Daniel how could, am your little sister(Daniel apologize) 

Fine am sorry (apology not accepted) why not 

I don't know, I just don't wish to accept your apology(fine what can I do to make you accept my apology) now your talking, it's simple just answer my question and I'll accept your apology

What, there is no way am answering that dumb question

It's not dumb question, it's completely logical and rational your the one that's dumb(ok, you take that back) no I won't

Alright cut it out you too, that's enough

Well he started(no I didn't, if it wasn't for your dumb I won't have said what I said) 

And again my question isn't dumb, tell him mom 

Well Mina, maybe you guys have lunch first get clear of my ceramic plates and cups and continue this outside, well mostly outside the kitchen, chuckles nervously(both stares at her in confusion) 

Daniel admit my question isn't stupid and then you don't have to answer it, there's no way am taking my word's back 

Fine I won't accept your apology and never call me your little sister ever(hold on second your joking right) no am very serious

Ok I can see that your both gonna keep dragging this on so I'll just do the needful(shouts loudly) honey I think the kids are ready for military sch(alright fine we won't argue anymore) well that's good

What is it Miriam, dad ask (oh it's nothing, just wanted to know how your enjoying your nap) it's going great actually, but would be better if you're here(ooh stop it Niel, your embarrassing the kids) 

If they are embarrassed, then should go a boyfriend or girlfriend(daaaaad) 

Niel how could you, laugh's loudly, these are your kids (and your my wife)

Ok am done eating, thanks Mom (your welcome honey, are you off to Serena's house) yeah we've got homework today

By the way I heard that guy, you know ummm what's his name(who are you talking about) the guy you had a crush on, what's him again(Jake) yes Jake thank you Daniel 

Yeah what happened to him(no I heard his back, I was wondering if, you know confessed your feelings yet

Mina blushes, mooom that's embarrassing and no I haven't done that yet 

Well if you need any help, am always here( I know) and you too Daniel when are you getting a girlfriend

Hold on, how did I get into this 

Seriously daniel you need to get a girlfriend, your getting old(no am not) 

Alright fine, your not getting old but still your almost done with college and you haven't gotten a girlfriend yet don't you want to give grandchildren

Yeah daniel, don't you want me to become an aunt 

The answer to your question is, people lie so they don't get into trouble(forget about the question now, but thank you for the answer, when are getting a girlfriend, your not escaping this one) 

When are you getting a boyfriend(ummm, I've got to go to Serena's house bye guys) why are you running mina 

What am not running, just that this is very important and you know that I take my study seriously

Mom and Daniel(since when) 

Whatever bye guys(bye)
