Short Story - The Baby Monitor

 

            "But dad," Kim whined as she was being pushed out of the kitchen by her dad.
             "No excuses, young lady!" He said. This is a man zone only until we are done cooking. Go sit with the rest of the family.".
             "Dad, I just wanted to help. It's boring in the living room! Marie and Candy would only talk about boys and mom and Aunt Vanessa would talk about politics" She pouted as she turned to face her dad. So that she would be successful to change his mind. .
             "Sorry honey, but it's a tradition. Just ask if you can borrow mom's tablet and play some games, Okay?" Her dad stood in the door way blocking Kim from entering. "No young girl allowed" he said.
             Kim frowned. "I'm almost sixteen! And why does Gack get to go?" .
             He sighed. "Your brother is old enough to help this year. We well be keeping an eye on him, we don't want to keep an eye on both you and him!" He turned around to enter the kitchen again. "Now go on, go back to the living room and leave the cooking or us me. Bye!" .
             Frowning, Kim looked down at the floor. "Fine" the kitchen door closed and Kim returned to the living room. Her nieces were talking about stuff she was not interested in and her mom and aunt were chatting about things she didn't understand. She approached her mother. "Mommy?" She turned around and smiled. "Yes honey?" .
             "Dad didn't want me in the kitchen and now I'm bored. Could I please borrow your tablet?" Kim said gently. .
             Her mom thought about it and nodded. "Okay, but stay here okay? Dylan feel asleep finally and I don't want you waking him up.".
             "Thanks mom!" Kim said smiling. She quickly grabbed her tablet from the corner and took it to the far corner of the living room.
             Time went by a lot quicker now that Kim was playing games. The baby in the room hasn't been crying for two hours. Suddenly Kim heard her brother making some sounds.
