She’s on KP Duty

- —Catherine Venturi

While the adults finished their coffee, RJ, 6, and his sister, Marissa, 4, went off to play. Soon, the doorbell rang. It was a police officer. “Is everything all right?” he asked. He said three 911 calls had come from the house. “We’re fine,” Grandma replied. “There must be some mistake.” The officer asked the kids whether they made the calls. Petrified, RJ said, “Not me.” Marissa started sobbing uncontroll­ably. Then she looked at the officer and said, “But my brother didn’t eat his vegetables.”
