and then there were three of us.

The Hopester and "Lovable Luke" are in my charge. Well, not really; but, I pretend to have some sort of authority over them while my parents are away.

In a few moments I'm going to prepare the spaghetti my mom pre-made for us. I say, for today, we throw out the rule that dinner must be eaten later in the evening. "With a heave and a ho and a mighty throw..." In other parts of the world it is later. Thus, we eat dinner when I say we eat dinner. Which, is when I am hungry. Consequently, that could cause somewhat of a problem since I am always hungry. But, we'll neglect that little bit of information in order to come back to the conclusion that: yes, I should make dinner now.

I will do just that.
