Rebecca has always been skilled in just about everything she does. This summer, she’s picked up the violin on a whim. Her brothers are always very impressed!

Unlike the kids, Lillith and Dirk don’t have a summer vacation and still have to get up for work.

They both just want 5 more minutes.

Just across the street from the Delarosas lives the (mostly) close-knit Starchild family.

Blossom and Jared encourage their children, Carol and Blake, to embrace their creativity and young spirit.

Blake enjoys his parents’ fun activities like drum circles and nature walks, but Carol has always been more of the studious type. Her parents aren’t quite sure about how they feel about that, though, and they’re hitting a bump in the road over whether or not they like Carol’s longing for order, conformity, and most of all: peace and quiet.

“What’s bakin’, shakin’?”

“Oh, just cupcakes for Florian’s school’s bake sale.”

“They look great, hon.”

“Thanks. I followed the school’s list of the rules to a T… at least, I think so.”

“Rules?”

“Oh, just the usual: no nuts, no gluten, no peanuts, no dairy, no shellfish, no eggs, nothing from a company that cages animals, no sugar, no artificial colors, no GMOs, no anything that ends with -ose, and no traces of these ingredients of any kind”

“That’s… a lot of rules. And who bakes with shellfish?”

“That’s what I was wondering, too! We never had these many rules when I was in school.”

“But it’s good they care so much about the kids’ safety. Mr. Starchild was just saying to me the other day, nothing is more important than keeping our children safe.”

“Oh, mentioning Jared just reminded me!”

“Yeah?”

“Is Florian going to the Starchilds’ kid’s chickenpox party this Saturday? Jared called just an hour ago because we never responded to his last eight invitations.”

“…”

“Yeah, I’m telling him ‘no.’”
