"Let's wash up and have breakfast then," said Finnick as he glanced at his son. Just when the man wanted to change Larry's clothes, he was rejected by his son.
"The teacher at school said that we have to do things on our own. I want to change myself."
The little boy dismissed his father's hand and proceeded to put on clothes on himself.
Finnick was proud of Larry for taking the initiative.
His kindergarten teacher's effort was not in vain.
"Alright, little pumpkin. Your mom and I will go wash up then." The man headed to the bathroom after seeing that Larry could handle himself perfectly well.
Vivian was already brushing her teeth in the bathroom. The man circled his wife from behind and said, "Vivian."
"Uh-huh." The woman was brushing her teeth and mumbled her response.
"Let me help you," Finnick said as he grabbed her toothbrush and started to brush her teeth.
He was really good at it, and Vivian felt like it was a pleasure.
Soon, they were done brushing her teeth. After rinsing her mouth, Vivian planned to head outside.
However, she was stopped by Finnick. The man cast a hopeful glance at her.
"What's the matter?" Vivian was still in a daze after just waking up from a good night's sleep. Naturally, she was oblivious to her husband's
signals.
Upset from her wife's lack of response, Finnick looked dejected.
Noticing that his wife truly did not understand what he meant, Finnick said helplessly, "I mean, I've helped you brush your teeth." The man then thought he made himself clear.
However, what Vivian was about to say rendered him speechless.
"So?"
"So, you have to brush my teeth too."
Finnick decided to cut to the chase. Otherwise, he would have to keep the little woman guessing all day.
"Oh, I see." Vivian finally caught up with her
husband.
