Duties

The day began with a call from the other room.

"Grandpa, I need to go to the bathroom."

Grandpa was dutiful.

Still dusk outside, he encouraged the little guys to go back to sleep.

They had other things in mind.

One by one, they hopped in bed to cuddle. Those still dozey eyes, those fleshy faces begging to be kissed.

Grandma was dutiful.
