- You need to talk to her, Albert said. - She is your mother!
- It won't change anything, trust me!
- Hey, when Hui and Edna starts school, they can get some noisy toys like drum sets and a piano! Then your mom will find our home too noisy, and she might leave!
Myrhna felt the situation rather awkward, but she was glad she could spend time with the kids again. She didn't want to go through any more pregnancies, but she had not yet debated it with Albert. He was still awaiting the kids to get older, to see if they were ugly enough to inherit him.
- Aw, it doesn't look like you will become a prince charming, Myrhna sighted. The oldest, Hui, had a very flat face with a forehead standing out. Myrhna hoped that it would adjust when he grew up.
Elderly Anna Eastwood enjoyed her new living. The master bedroom was not large, but the bed was very stylish, and big enough to make her feel lonely.
She also had the better bathroom, and the kitchen and livingroom were just a few steps away. No stairs! She could stay there for a very long time - like she planned.
The kids' crying was a bit disturbing though. They behaved much worse now than back in the occupied nursery.
- Make them stop! Please!, she grunted.
But little Hui just wanted some food, and it all became quiet again.
- We have been discussing your lack of contribution to our household, Anna. If you plan to stay here a few more weeks, it would be nice if you could clean this place or bring in just a little money. How about go fishing - every day?
- Hmpfr! Not possible, I'm allergic to cleaning remedies! Fishing? No way, I don't eat fish, Albert!
- Mom, maybe you could just spend a little of your savings?, Myrhna suggested. We don't ask for much, just a symbolic thing.
By now Edna, the youngest had reached toddler stage, and Albert began to worry.
- These kids are not ugly enough! We will need to reproduce again! We'll have six kids if that is what it takes to bring on my high standard ugliness!
The next day, while Myrhna was playing at the Theatre, Albert was sitting alone at the dinner table. Suddenly old Anna Eastwood rushed through the room and Albert nearly got choked by the food! His mother in law had had a makeover!
- Oh by Similius, what happened?
- What happened? Did anything happen?, Anna Eastwood asked. She didn't even dye her hair!
She was on her way to town. She had spotted a club where mature adults and even a few elders mingled. She had a plan, and a sincere wish.
She borrowed Alberts car without even asking. She knew where he kept the keys anyway. Her heart was dancing, her face was blushing with excitement (not only an overdose makeup). Anna Eastwood felt like a teenager again!
