Missy had only started a few months ago and wasn’t allowed to smoke at home, at school or even in the mall so that was an added perk. After a while, the kids were getting used to her. Perhaps a little too used to her. She continued to get along great with Ashley, who was almost like a little sister but the boys were beginning to test her. They were running around in the house, knocking stuff over that sometimes broke and when she told them to stop running, they tended to ignore her. If she told them to pick up their toys they wouldn’t and would sometimes even say “NO!” Their mother had said to “smack them” if they get out of line and sometimes she would give them a slap across their shoulder or over their jeans but while they might have said “owwww!” in a whiny manner, it didn’t do much good.
