Jenny's siblings are particularly tiring that morning. She suspects it's left over from the Christmas holidays; you would think a month would be enough time for the mania to wear off, but Jenny makes a point of never underestimating her siblings. And of course her parents are both at work and aren't home to help her.

After a while, though, she has finally successfully bludgeoned everyone into eating, cleaning themselves up, and getting all of their stuff together. She contemplates a cup of coffee, decides she didn't really need all of her growth anyway, downs it and gets everyone out the door.

An hour later, her siblings are in their respective classrooms, Jenny's safely ensconced in her own seat, and man is she feeling bouncy. Today's a great day, it's going to be great, let's go!

(Coffee was not Jenny's best idea ever.)

"Pretty please with chocolate on top?"

"I already said all right. You have my permission to eat your lunch. I will not improvise further belated Christmas music."

Jenny finishes her lunch contentedly. As promised, no further Christmas music ensues. (She has nothing against Christmas music, but it's hard to eat when laughing hysterically.)

And later, there will be ice cream adventures.
