SETTING: Isk and Amal have just walked to the local drugstore for sundries, and picked up a Valentine's Day gift for Leigh while they are at it. As they approach the house, Amal says, "Now, Isk, the gift we got for Mama is for Valentine's Day. So don't tell her what it is."
Amal and Isk enter the house, and Amal tells him to head down the hall to the bathroom to take his boots off. Leigh steps into the hall to prevent snowy boots from tracking into the living room (he is not so good with the order "stop").
ISK: Mama! We bought you a wh-
AMAL: *claps her hand over his mouth* ISKANDER. That present is for Valentine's Day.

LEIGH: *cracks up*
AMAL (herding him into the bathroom to remove outerwear): I told you not to tell her, because presents should be a surprise.
ISK (to Leigh): It a whale surprise.
AMAL: *gives up forever*

Tell me they're not two forever. Please.
