A few hours later Austin is through watching TV. "Let's go." He says standing.

"Where?" Lizzy asks calmly leaning back against the couch.

"To get my puppy." Austin says rolling his eyes.

"Sit down." Lizzy demands.

"Daddy." Austin whines.

"Listen to your mother." Bo says.

Austin instantly sits. "Listen up little boy. I know I've only been around for a few days but that does not mean you can tell me what to do. You are only six and for the next 12 years you will listen to me and you will not tell me what to do. Do you understand me?" Lizzy asks.

Austin nods looking scolded. "I'm sorry Mommy."

"I know, we'll go when I think you're ready and not a moment before." Lizzy says. Twenty minutes later Lizzy stands. "Ok we'll go now."

Lizzy and Bo look around for a while before going to see the puppy Austin wanted. "Uh Bo tell me that is not what I think it is." Lizzy demands.

"Yeah that's definitely what I think it is." Lizzy says crouching next to her son and petting the puppy.
