Just a regular night at the Pappas'
Aaron was in his pjs, playing with a truck he got for Christmas. He drove the truck right into his mother's feet.
"Aaah!" he cried, "It's a giant! The people from truck town will all flee in horror!" Mia rolled her eyes. Using her foot, she turned the truck around and pushed it back to her son.
"It's getting close to bedtime," Mia said, "Why not put your truck away and go get a book? I'll read it to you." Aaron shook his head, preparing the truck to zoom again.
"I heard you say Uncle Brad was coming over," he said, "I wanna stay up to see him and tell him all about New Years Eve!" He pushed the truck towards his mother again. Bedtime wasn't techincally until eight and Mia knew Aaron would want to see Brad and probably wouldn't calm down until he did.
"Okay," Mia said, "Go put the truck away and go get Teddy. I'm sure Brad doesn't want to be a victim of the rolling truck." Aaron jumped to his feet and went downstairs. Mia walked to the front door and opened it just as Brad walked up on the step.
