[QUOTE="Krizzel, post: 663811, member: 9062"] Monday, 7:00am DuPries home, Oak Grove "Hmph." Ba lifted her nose haughtily but there was a hint of laughter in her eyes. "You should go to France - they have nice boys there, like your grandpa was." With a toss of her head that sent her thigh-length braid of silvery-white hair swinging from side to side, Ba strode over to the counter with a swishing of her gold-colored [i]ao dai[/i]. A silky blue cashmere wrap the twins had given her a few years ago kept her shoulders warm. "Son," she commanded as she opened the cabinet, "you should take us to France in the summer." Now if Stacy had her father wrapped around her little finger, then so did Ba, and she had the experience, confidence, and willingness to use it expertly. "Well Ba, I'll have to check at the office first. We might be pretty busy soon," he waffled. "Nonsense. They owe you for your good work. And Huyen has vacation time to use," Ba assured as if it was already decided. She pulled out two bowls and then turned to the refrigerator. "Well..." Richard tried to think of something else, but he supposed vacation did sound nice. They hadn't gotten to take one last year. "I guess they did offer to give me two weeks if I wanted..." "Good," Ba pronounced with finality. She set a container of cooked fish and one of rice on the counter, then called "Bi Mat!" and rapped the counter with her knuckles. A ringing bell answered almost immediately as the ivory colored cat with its black tail bounded in from the family room and leaped onto the counter. She mewed demandingly, watching with large light blue eyes as Ba parceled out some pieces of fish into one of the bowls. [/QUOTE]
