A rather naughty suggestion.
The kids were asleep, it was their day off. The treehouse was unoccupied.
So how about having a naughty roll in it???
Ambrose looked mortified and flatly refused, telling Ginny he didn't want to get splinters in anywhere tender. Instead, he stalked off to gaze at the galaxies with his telescope.
That frustrated Virginia somewhat.
Plus, tomorrow was going to be her first day back at work since having Helen and the twins, and because Ambrose was working too, that meant they had nobody to look after the twins whilst the two of them were out of the house.
It was then that she came up with a brilliant idea. Brosie was overdue a day off, so she suggested that he take over, just for the day - a friday actually, so the weekends would be free - and look after the twins.
"It shouldn't be that difficult," she said sweetly, "besides, it'll take your mind off things, and keep you occupied for a while. Once they're fed and changed, they're pretty easy to keep happy. Especially now that the both of them have been potty trained!!"
So, the next day, after Ambrose remembered to call in work and arrange the day off, Ginny went off to the school for her shift, leaving Ambrose alone.
... in the house....
.... with the twins.....
BAD
IDEA
They sensed his inexperience and decided that today, they'd both throw mega tantrums.
He overfed them, so both of their bladders were bursting at the seams, causing them to scream even louder.
No amount of play time was good enough for Violet and Susan as they simultaneously tested Ambrose's patience.
And he was so stressed out that he forgot to put them back to bed in the afternoon for their nap time. So they screamed even LOUDER.
The only one NOT getting stressed out, was Rina. Who'd taken the golden opportunity of sleeping on the settee now, since it was the only thing she hadn't left her hairs on yet!!
