Annette: so how was today boys?

Alastor: It was good I heard a radio in town today it was amazing I can't wait to be able to talk on radio myself.

*Annette smiles and jokes*

Annette:I hear they make good money you can take care of me when Iam old and gray then right dear.

*Alastor grins*

Alastor: of course mother I may be able to even help Alex get a job he can be my butler.

*Alex laughs*

Alex: ha you wish I'll be the richest person eventually and buy all the radio stations and make you advertise women's lingerie all day.

*Annette sighs while smiling slightly*

Annette: I'll spank you both if you don't cut it out your brothers. Alex you have to protect your younger brother y'all both need to stick together and help each other when you can.

*Alex smiles*

Alex: don't worry mama we might argue a lot but if he needs me I'll be there but since radio does pay well he'll have to pay me a decent amount.

*Alastor smiles*

Alastor: oh, I thought you were gonna be the richest man eventually surely you won't need my meager pocket change.

*Alex frowns slightly*

Alex: Well time is money as they say so I should still be paid for my time Iam already giving you a discount for being my brother otherwise you'd never be able to pay enough.

*Alex and Alastor stare at each other then start laughing*

*Annette smiles and watches the boys*

Annette: so how was your day and are you sure you want to leave for the army Alex.

*Alex thinks a bit before answering*

Alex: We have been through this mom I'll be ok no need to worry I'll be safe I promise and what about your day mama?

*Annette smiles while sighing *

Annette: I can't not worry your my son and I love you but as long as you promise to be safe and write to me weekly I'll manage. And my day is terrific when y'all two are in it.

*Both boys blush slightly*

Annette: Alright both of y'all go wash up and head to bed we have a busy day tomorrow.

The boys: Yes mama

*Both wash up and head to bed*
