"He's not going to listen," Chewy sighed when he got home from seeing Jun.
"You never know, he might." Chai warmed up the curry, and Daisy was there to make sure he would eat. Of course, they were always on to her about eating since she loved playing around or asking endless questions, but she was quiet as if she knew not to say a word.
"It's just, I feel so bad for his grandmother. I don't guess he ever really spent that much time with her while growing up. Maybe that's it."
Chewy shrugged and began to eat his dinner.
"I'm sure he grew up differently from you. Your grandmother raised you," Chai reminded him as he went ahead and put the dishes away that were rinsed and dried. Chai went on to say that he never knew his grandparents, but he wished he did.
He looked to Daisy. "I think it might be a good idea for Daisy to be around older people. Maybe..maybe we could visit there, from time to time."
"I don't know." Chewy pressed his lips tight. "I would think it to be a good thing. Only, I want Jun to do this, on his own, you know. And if he does, then..then maybe we could take Daisy to see her. Even so, I hear they have trick-or-treating in October, so we could go then. Sunny told me about it."
Chai nodded. Of course, Daisy's face beamed at the thought of trick or treating.
"Why is it only on Halloween?" She asked.
Chewy sighed.
"It's just once a year, like Christmas. We have to wait, you know." Chai didn't give her any more details.
She made a fretful face and hugged herself as if she didn't like that idea at all. She finally went back to coloring a page.
"You know, how we wouldn't want you to have too much candy. You get a tummy ache and you might have to see the dentist too," he explained.
"But I like chocolate," she informed him.
"I know. You like the hard candy too." He nodded.
"Only ring pops." Daisy glared back.
Chai knew she would have never known about those if it hadn't been for Liv, who shared a box of candies her mother sent her from America.
Chai smiled at her as if she'd just have to wait to see what Halloween had in store for her. Meanwhile, he wanted her to practice holding a crayon. Hopefully, she would be learning to write her name soon.
Some day, indeed
